Owner of dog rescued in the Bay gives thanks to Menlo Fire

Prieta and her grateful owner, Maribel Juarez, had the opportunity to meet some of the firefighters at a recent Fire District board meeting.

Firefighter Tyler, who scooped up Prieta from the San Francisco Bay in one perfectly-timed move, was able to see her dry and much happier now in her owner’s arms.  Also in attendance were firefighter crew Seth, Dan, Carlos, and Alex plus drone operator Tom.

Prieta’s owner was emotional as she expressed her gratitude to all of the rescuers who helped bring her beloved dog home after an especially difficult time in her life. She shared that she recently lost several close family members and was devastated when she thought she lost Prieta too.

Those involved in her rescue were happy to see them reunited again and were grateful to have some time to connect under much better conditions.
