When a couple noticed a puppy suffering in the water, their dinner cruise on a yacht took an extremely unexpected turn, motivating the crew to perform an amazing rescue.
Terry Johns was leading a dinner cruise between Fort Myers Beach and Lighthouse Beach in Florida on board the Sanibel Harbor Princess.
But when a couple noticed a puppy in the water, trying to keep afloat, the cruise took an unexpected turn, according to WINK News.
Captain Johns said to WINK, “I looked out, and I saw something in the water.” “Then I heard dogs, dogs, dogs,” all of a sudden.”
To save the dog, the captain and his crew sprang into action. It was unclear whether the animal had been dragged in by the powerful currents or had fallen from a boat.
Kurt Echols, the co-captain, reportedly guided the yacht towards the dog, enabling the crew to save it at the swim platform, according to People.
The dog was subsequently given food and drink by the crew and passengers, and she was thanked for being spared and was characterized as “very friendly.”

The dog was brought to the coast in the hopes of reuniting her with her family. Her microchip was unreadable, though. However, her owners were thankfully informed when the incident made the press.
Ellie, the dog owned by Ben and Kathleen Baker, was lost while on a boat trip. They looked all over the waterways for her, but they couldn’t find her.
They were inconsolable and said, “I just assumed that was it. Ben said to WINK News, “I’m 72 years old, and I have probably cried more in the last 18 hours.”
However, Ellie was located, saved, and reunited with her family because of this boat crew.
What a miracle! We are very grateful to everyone on this yacht for assisting this puppy who went overboard to safely return home!
From Small Town Dreams to Hollywood Stardom: How does the Legendary Actor Look Now?
The story of Earl Holliman’s journey to Hollywood is one of aspiration and perseverance. In 1943, Holliman was 14 years old and adamant about wanting to be a movie star.
Raised in Oil City and Mooringsport, rather than Shreveport as is frequently stated, he traveled via a number of locations before arriving in Hollywood.
He first went to see relatives in Camden, Arkansas, and from there he bused himself to Texarkana. He took a rideshare to Hollywood from there.
Holliman had worked the night shift at a diner close to Barksdale Air Force Base and as a theater usher, so he had saved some money. A serviceman he met at the cafe even gave him a lead on a place to stay, which turned out to be in El Monte, California, a good distance from Hollywood. Looking back on his trip, Holliman acknowledges that it was a dangerous decision that wouldn’t be prudent in the modern day.
DAILY LIFE IN HOLLYWOOD
After his initial try in Hollywood failed, Holliman made a quick trip back home before deciding to serve in the Navy. But his desire to be a movie star never went away. Later on, he went back to Los Angeles to continue his education at the University of California, Los Angeles and the Pasadena Playhouse.
Holliman’s perseverance was rewarded. With parts in “Giant” (1956), “Forbidden Planet,” “The Rainmaker,” and “The Sons of Katie Elder,” he amassed an amazing reel of cinematic credits. Additionally, he gained recognition for his television appearances, most notably in “Police Woman” with Angie Dickinson and in “The Thorn Birds” with Richard Chamberlain and Rachel Ward.
Holliman remembers his Hollywood days fondly, especially his first morning there. Wearing dark glasses and a silk shirt with short sleeves, he strutted in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, wondering if anyone thought he was a celebrity. The naive hopes of youth were present in that moment.
