I have the deepest respect for the U.S. Coast Guard. As usual, a terrific job! These brave, fearless people are sailors, drug enforcement people, police officers, rescuers, and firefighters -- to name a few of their duties. What is it that they DON'T To all those who rescued Leo, I thank you.

The Coast Guard are heroes! Thank you for your exceptional service. You deserve bonus pay! The owners had the Golden “off the leash” and should be billed for the rescue!! These heroes risked their lives to save this beautiful dog!! 💖🙏

To the people who will say this isnt worth it and is a waste of resources. I say its better to just rescue the dog now rather than having to risk rescuing the dog and its owner later. No good dog owner would just leave their dog after that.

Thanks to the Coast Guard! I hope the dog recover soon! The next time get a lease for your dog it’s the law and you protect him that way.

"Leo from a 300 ft fall after he ran ahead of his owners while on a hike." How about put your dog on a leash . Owner should be charge for animal endangerment.
