K-9 Zeppelin was walking on a leash and without warning, jumped over the rail.
Deputy Lauren Donaldson tightened her hold on the lead and braced her feet against the railing. A few moments later, she reached over the guard rail and pulled Zeppelin back to safety.
“Lauren’s rescue of her beloved partner is even more amazing when you consider that ‘Zeppelin,’ a Belgian Malinois weighs approximately 75 pounds and Lauren weighs 122 pounds,” the sheriff’s office wrote on Facebook.
