An incredible story of a dog-lover's commitment and compassion for an animal he never met has a happy ending in the Miami Herald today.
David Bernstein looked into the dog’s eyes and saw doom.
The 28-pound mixed terrier, wearing a pale red sweater, was on a path to tragedy, walking across the Brickell Avenue drawbridge as it began rising over the Miami River.
Bernstein got out of his car, yelled, waved his arms. He kept focusing on those eyes and was determined to save her.
“She looked at me and I looked at her,” he said. “She kept walking and I bolted, but it was too late.”
The dog plunged 30 feet and disappeared.
Bernstein called 911. An officer and fire-rescue came. He pleaded with passing boaters to slow down and help in the search.
Nothing.
“She slipped just a foot away from my hands. As she fell, I heard one last yelp. I will never forget her face.”
