Sebastian Christmas Miracle: 2 Poodles Save Missing Dog in Layport Drive Canal

Two poodles named Winnie the Poodle and Lucy Golden Doodle woke up their family at 6:00 a.m. after discovering a dog swimming helplessly in the Layport Drive Canal in Sebastian.

Little did they know the dog, named Sophie, was reported missing on Christmas Day. The owners went on social media to report her missing and said they were worried sick and asked everyone to look for “the sweetest dog ever.”

Longo said she called the non-emergency police number, and they located the owners to reunite them with Sophie.
