Better to focus on the civilian who braved the waters of the Harlem River to keep the dog from drowning, as well as the New York City firefighters who quickly got to both of them.

Lt. Salvatore Sodano led the unit, which brought the dog aboard and took him to shore for the necessary care.

"Without the quick response from both the civilian and FDNY members, the outcome for this animal could have been very different," the department wrote.
