Los Angeles, United States - February 24, 2025 A routine police search in the dead of night took a heart-pounding turn when an LAPD K9 plunged into a backyard pool, sparking a dramatic rescue caught on camera. The incident unfolded around 2 a.m. on February 6, as body-worn footage recorded the tense moment frantic splashing broke the silence. The beam of an officer’s flashlight revealed the struggling police dog, desperately dog-paddling in the center of the icy water. The officer’s voice pierced the darkness, calling out to the K9 named Rex while clapping urgently from the pool’s edge. Moments later, another officer sprang into action, diving into the chilly depths to haul the soaked and panting Rex to safety. The daring save left the drenched duo shivering but unharmed. “When your LAPD K9 partner falls into a cold pool during a search, what do you do? K9-1 Officer Jenkins jumped into the pool without hesitation,” the LAPD proudly shared in a statement. “A swift rescue, and a great story to tell after work.” The bond between officer and K9 shone through, proving no pool is too deep when a partner’s life is on the line.
