Dog rescued in Jamaica Bay

From the NY Times:

New York City got a reprieve from the monstrous heat on Monday, but it was apparently still not cool enough for an 8-month German shepherd named Charlie.

The dog dove into Jamaica Bay off Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn, for a dip about 7:35 p.m. Monday, but strong current quickly carried him away, the police said.

Charlie was eventually picked up by the police, who were on the harbor doing a routine patrol by boat.
