TCSO Deputies Rescue Dogs from Friant Kern Canal

On 1/28/24, TCSO Deputies received a call that three German Shepherds were trapped in the Friant Kern Canal near Avenue 128. The dogs tried to climb out on their own, but slid back down the steep walls.

Brosamer & Wall, Inc. employees were able to contain the animals until TCSO Deputies and Tulare County Fire personnel arrived.

They all worked together to rescue two of the dogs, the third deputies had to carry to safety because it was so scared. All dogs appear to be in good health and were being turned over to Tulare County Animal Control.
