How an Apple AirTag helped rescue a dog swept away during California floods

Seamus, an Australian Shepherd, was swept away by floodwaters in California during his walk with owner Emilie Brill. He managed to get away from her and ended up at the edge of a flood control basin near I-215 and I-10 in San Bernardino. Brill called emergency services and crews immediately arrived to assist. They were flagged down by an employee at a local RV facility who heard Seamus barking in the nearby channel and witnessed him floating down the channel. Thanks to the employee’s alert, Seamus was rescued by the fire department just hours later. Brill credits Seamus’ rescue to the tireless efforts of the fire department and an Apple AirTag that helped locate him.
