A remarkable rescue operation took place in the Port of Cartagena, successfully saving a greyhound that had gone missing. The incident unfolded on Tuesday morning when the dog escaped around six thirty. Witnesses described a chaotic chase across the city as the swift greyhound evaded multiple attempts to catch her, including from her owner and numerous individuals on bicycles and scooters.

The greyhound made her way to the cruise terminal at the Port of Cartagena, where she leaped into the water and continued to swim towards the Navantia facilities. As the situation developed, concerned bystanders watched helplessly from the shore while the owner arrived exhausted after running from the city centre.

The distressing scene prompted the owner to call the Emergency Coordination Centre for assistance. Firefighters from the City Council of Cartagena promptly responded to the call and launched a rescue operation, successfully reaching the greyhound aboard a rescue Zodiac and bringing her back safely to shore.

In a heartfelt expression of gratitude, a local resident who witnessed the rescue remarked on the joy shared by all involved, highlighting the professional efforts of the firefighters. This incident not only showcases the dedication of the rescue services but also highlights the strong bond between pets and their owners.
