A sea of brown foam created by torrential rains that hit the east coast of Australia swallowed a dog on Monday until its owner miraculously found it.
The puppy’s owner was caught in a dramatic video wading through the mud at Gold Coast’s Snapper Rocks in Byron Bay, about two hours south of Brisbane, desperately calling for her dog who was lost in the sea foam, reported the local outlet 7 News.
Hazel! Hazel, ‘the woman, dressed in a white bathing suit, screamed as she searched through the swirling brown bubbles as high as her chest, video programs.
Shortly after, the pup emerged and was shoveled safely into his mother’s arms and taken to safety, the clip shows.
Heavy rains and tides have ravaged more than 600 miles off Australia’s east coast on Monday, the BBC reported.
The beaches around Byron Bay, a popular tourist destination, have almost disappeared, local mayor Simon Richardson told the outlet.
More than 2,000 homes have lost power and tides of up to 8 meters have been recorded, the outlet reported.
The bizarre sea foam trapped in the clip is created when impurities, such as salts, natural chemicals and dead plants, are churned together by powerful waves, turning the water into thick, brown bubbles, Norther Star previously reported.
