The Coast Guard’s Station Fort Myers Beach said the night crew were just started their shift Wednesday when they were alerted to a “dog in distress” off Bowditch Point.
The crew shared photos and video from the rescue of the disoriented swimmer.
“Thanks to the crew’s expertise in intercepting non-compliant vessels (NCV) and recovering a person in the water (PIW), our ‘star’ of the night was safely recovered and returned to her owner,” the station said.
