NEW YORK, April 1 A puppy who broke away from her owners and jumped into New York's Hudson River over the weekend was rescued by veteran firefighters.

The New York Post reported on Bubba, the 15-month-old bull terrier who pulled away from her owners as they walked along the pier.

The firefighters were finishing a drill on a neighboring pier when the emergency occurred, the report said. One of them donned a rescue suit and swam from the team's rapid response boat to the dog, who had gotten trapped under the pier.

The owners, who did not want to be identified, were grateful for the rescue.
