Two dogs were rescued from a stream by volunteer firefighters.

The Arroyo del Rey, in Ingeniero Budge, became a trap for two dogs that had to be rescued by the Volunteer Firefighters of Lomas de Zamora. It all started when a group of neighbors noticed that two of these pets were on the garbage mound under the bridge.

Realizing that there was no way to get them out, the neighbors called the firefighters to come to the corner of Necol and Ayolas streets to help these animals.

It is believed that the dogs swam there to avoid drowning. However, they had no way to climb back up since the height of the wall made it impossible for them to get out of the stream without help.

Once the firefighters arrived, they carefully placed a ladder to go down and rescue them, and bring them back to the surface. This problem is common in the area, as several animals fall into the stream and cannot get out without the help of Civil Defense or the firefighters, due to the high walls.

A rescue of love

For the Coen family, this year was not just any vacation. They traveled twice from Buenos Aires to Valle Fértil (San Juan): the first time, they fell in love with a dog named Murci; the second time, they returned on a quick visit to adopt him. Verónica, her husband, and son met Murci, a five-month-old black puppy, during their stay at the Elsa estate, where the dog quickly settled in with them, creating a special bond.

Determined to take Murci home, the family organized a quick trip from Buenos Aires. Despite the logistical challenges, they managed to pick him up and return on a 2,400-kilometer journey. During his first days in Buenos Aires, Murci adapted well to his new life. The family, who also has a 14-year-old poodle, is delighted with their new member, who enjoys outings to the park and their new home.
