NORTH VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – North Shore Rescue are warning dog owners about high, fast moving waters after the body of a two-year-old golden retriever was pulled from Lynn Creek.
Tim Jones with the team says Nelson’s body was found downstream, and the family is heartbroken.
“It’s a very sad case,” he says. “Like a family member to the owners, and a lot of people came out to find him.”
In a separate story, a dog was rescued from a similar situation today on the Capilano River. Jones says a high snow pack and warm temperatures are leading to a rapid melt and a lot of mountain run-off.
