When a couple noticed a puppy suffering in the water, their dinner cruise on a yacht took an extremely unexpected turn, motivating the crew to perform an amazing rescue.
Terry Johns was leading a dinner cruise between Fort Myers Beach and Lighthouse Beach in Florida on board the Sanibel Harbor Princess.
But when a couple noticed a puppy in the water, trying to keep afloat, the cruise took an unexpected turn, according to WINK News.
Captain Johns said to WINK, “I looked out, and I saw something in the water.” “Then I heard dogs, dogs, dogs,” all of a sudden.”
To save the dog, the captain and his crew sprang into action. It was unclear whether the animal had been dragged in by the powerful currents or had fallen from a boat.
Kurt Echols, the co-captain, reportedly guided the yacht towards the dog, enabling the crew to save it at the swim platform, according to People.
The dog was subsequently given food and drink by the crew and passengers, and she was thanked for being spared and was characterized as “very friendly.”
The dog was brought to the coast in the hopes of reuniting her with her family. Her microchip was unreadable, though. However, her owners were thankfully informed when the incident made the press.
Ellie, the dog owned by Ben and Kathleen Baker, was lost while on a boat trip. They looked all over the waterways for her, but they couldn’t find her.
They were inconsolable and said, “I just assumed that was it. Ben said to WINK News, “I’m 72 years old, and I have probably cried more in the last 18 hours.”
However, Ellie was located, saved, and reunited with her family because of this boat crew.
CBS Mornings’ Gayle King, 69, makes debut as cover girl for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue
Once she decided to go through with the photoshoot she set a few ground rules. She wasn’t going to starve herself and she didn’t want any retouching of her photos, except for “a few dimples on her thighs.”
“My grandmother said to me [when I was little], ‘Mother nature was not as kind to you as she was to other little girls. Maybe you need to start wearing makeup.’ I just never saw myself this way.”
She added, “I know what I look like before I go into hair and makeup, so it’s hard for me to go from that to [the cover]. That’s something I have to process myself.”
King had nothing to worry about.
When she arrived at the photo shoot in Mexico, she said photographer Yu Tsai made her feel like “Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry all rolled into one.”
“I felt so comfortable and cared for that I didn’t even have time to feel self-conscious.”
“I never in a million years thought I would be standing here in a bathing suit for Sports Illustrated [Swimsuit], but here I am, which says to me that sometimes people can dream, God can dream, the universe can dream a bigger dream than you can ever think for yourself,” King told Sports
Illustrated. “I would have never thought this was possible. This was nowhere on my bucket list. So I’m thinking maybe it was a dream that I didn’t even know I wanted because now that I’m here, I want it bad.”
Gayle looks amazing! I think it’s wonderful how Sports Illustrated showcases all different ages, body types, and races in their issue. We’re not all the same, and everyone deserves to be represented.
