OXNARD, Calif. (AP) — A firefighter braved rising floodwaters to rescue a shivering pup that was stranded Tuesday on debris during a rare October storm in Southern California.

Officials said the 19-pound female pug or French bulldog mix was cold but otherwise unharmed. She did not have a tag on her collar or a microchip.
The Ventura County Animal Services’ website says the approximately 3-year-old dog is staying at the Camarillo Animal Shelter, where she could be adopted as soon as Saturday if her owners are not identified.
