[ male announcer ] at edward jones, it s how we make sense of investing. a pleasant boat trip turns terrifying for a new zealand couple and their dog. turned very ugly. january 1997. paul dickinson and his girlfriend tina keegan are cruising their new boat off new zealand s north island with their bull terrier priscilla. it was the end of the holiday, it was a sunday. we were probably half an hour
her own battle with the waves. on his third attempt, alex gets the harness around tina and they hoist her up. once i started to be lifted i thought this is great. this is my rescue. by now, the boat is nearly under water entirely. and the dog is nowhere in sight. paul is bleeding badly from a cut on his arm as alex secures his hoist up. the couple watches as the tormenter sinks presumably with priscilla. the paramedics couldn t see priscilla anywhere around the boat. it appeared all had been lost. but as the chopper turns to leave, the bull terrier appears clinging to the last visible piece of the tormenter. couldn t believe the dog was still there. i thought the dog unfortunately drowned. all eyes turned to alex. does he have the energy to go back down? i said to crewman, give me 60 seconds in the water.
finally the rescue crew spots the troubled boat. they were in big trouble. the boat was actually beginning to sink rather rapidly. alex stewart, an experienced rescue diver, is lowered from the chopper. when they placed me on the boat, i had about two seconds and i was off it. alex knows there s very little time. i shouted to tina to get into the water and for her husband to go in the dinghy and get away from the seng sinking boat. tina doesn t want to get in the water for fear she ll lose hold of priscilla. then a wave hits the cockpit and the dog falls in to the ocean. she sees alex and paddles toward him. we were out in the middle of the ocean. how did this dog get here? here s an added problem to the situation. alex s first priority is rescuing tina and paul. he swims with priscilla back to the boat and focuses on tina. meanwhile priscilla is fighting
if the dog doesn t come, we ll just have to leave her. i started calling the dog s name. she turned around, saw me and swam straight for me. the desperate priscilla wastes no time. she swam into my arms. thumbs up. get me out of here. i was in mid-air with the dog in my arms thinking, you re a lucky little girl. finally, the exhausted dog makes it into the arms of her happy owners. it was just perfect, yeah. couldn t have been any better. coming up, a family s dream home is buried at the bottom of the river. i saw the first two houses go through the gorge. oh, man. this is unbelievable, that water going. oh, my god. i mean, it was absolutely unbelievable. when caught on camera: wet and wild continues. to prove febreze eliminates tough odors, we threw a party.
