A man was rescued from a swollen Los Angeles River on Monday after he jumped in to save his beloved dog, and the dramatic incident was caught on video.
The river was raging after a deadly atmospheric river storm battered Southern California, including the Los Angeles area, with heavy rains that led to numerous reports of flooding and hundreds of landslides and mudslides across the region.
In a Facebook post, the Los Angeles Fire Department said firefighters responded to reports from members of the public who said they saw a man jump into rushing water in an attempt to save his dog.
Emergency crews responded to several bridges and access points downstream to locate the animal, which had managed to swim safely to the side and escape the water.
Like a scene from an action movie, an LAFD helicopter was able to lower a rescuer into the raging river, which was able to capture the man.

Both were then lifted into a helicopter and taken to solid ground, and fire officials said the victim was then taken to a local hospital for treatment.
In another Facebook post, the LAFD said the dog was “happy to be alive and eager to be reunited with his human.”
