Watch Dog Get Rescued From Lake Michigan By Officer After Car Crash

Well, it was an extremely hot day—and the pup was probably quite confused after what had just happened.

In a pretty spectacular scene that was caught on tape, a dog was rescued from Lake Michigan on Tuesday morning by a police officer after it jumped into the water following a four-vehicle crash on Lake Shore Drive.

In a chain-reaction crash in the 600 block of North Lake Shore Drive, a Toyota Camry swerved in front a GMC Terrain at around 6:30 a.m., then struck a Chevy Malibu. The Malibu then collided with a Dodge Durango, according to police. At least two people were taken to a hospital.

After the collision, the dog took off from one of the cars and made his plunge (or hesitant tip, really) into the water. ABC7 was there, presumably to cover the pileup, and caught the rescue. It's quite something.

Police said a news conference would be held on Tuesday afternoon. So more details should be available in the near future.
