HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) \u2014 New body-worn camera video shows the moments after a Florida <\/a>woman jumped into a canal to try to save her dog, leading to a careful rescue by Hallandale Beach police on April 2.<\/p>\n

Officers were called to the Intracoastal Waterway <\/a>area, where they found both the woman and her large dog in the water. Police said the woman jumped in after the dog fell into the canal and couldn\u2019t get back out.<\/p>\n

The bodycam footage shows officers moving quickly but cautiously along the edge, laying down to avoid slipping, and sliding a ladder into place to reach them. The rescue wasn\u2019t easy, especially with the steep canal walls and limited footing.<\/p>\n

“Just to let you know, everything’s 104. Lady’s and dog’s out of the water,” one officer says once both are safely pulled out.<\/p>\n

An earlier video of the rescue, recorded from across the Intracoastal, showed the incident from far away. The newly released bodycam offers a closer view of the teamwork involved and just how tricky the situation was up close.<\/p>\n

Once on dry land, the dog shakes off the water and wags its tail next to its owner. Both were soaked but clearly relieved. Police confirmed neither the woman nor the dog was injured.<\/p>\n

Officers asked the woman if she wanted to go to the hospital, but she declined, telling them she was just thankful to be out of the water and back on land.<\/p>\n

Police say the rescue ended safely thanks to quick coordination, and they caution pet owners to avoid jumping into canals, which can be dangerous due to steep edges and slippery conditions.<\/p>\n
