Shasta County, California – On the morning of September 11, a California man jumped from a moving boat to rescue his dog, who had jumped from the vessel into Lake Shasta.

The Shasta County Sheriff’s Office extends our condolences to the victim’s loved ones. The Sheriff’s Office also encourages the public to always wear personal flotation devices while on the water.
