August 19, 2023 - Tulare County Sheriff's Office officials report that at around 1:00 p.m. on Friday, TCSO Deputies received a call about a dog being carried down the Friant-Kern Canal from Highway 190 in Porterville.
With the help of canal employees, Deputies were able to save the dog and return him to the owner who lived nearby.
Please remember currents are fast in both canals and rivers and animals, just like people, can get swept away very quickly in these environments.
