Glendale Officer Jumps Into Canal to Rescue Dog

NEWARK, JUL 17 – PC John Chappell saved a suspected shoplifter from drowning in the River Trent before arresting him, with colleagues assisting and commended for their professionalism, police said.

  • On July 16 in Glendale, Arizona, a police officer jumped into a canal to rescue a dog that was struggling and unable to get out.
  • Multiple 911 calls alerted authorities about the dog trapped near 75th Avenue and Camelback Road, prompting the officer’s swift response.
  • The officer swam across the canal after advising bystanders to secure the dog with a pole, then safely returned the soaked dog to its thankful owner on dry land.
  • Glendale Police called the rescue "pawsome" and shared a video and photo of the officer and dog together, with social media users praising the officer’s actions.
  • The event serves as a reminder that many dogs suffer fatal drowning annually and owners should be aware of risks like near drowning syndrome and impairments in pets.
