A woman and her dog are lucky to be alive after a group of good Samaritans on a boat rescued her from drowning.
Trapped in her car, the woman’s vehicle slowly started to sink under floodwaters in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Thousands have been rescued and at least three have died in Louisiana as storms and heavy flooding have ravaged the area.

In the video, you can see three men drawing close to the submerged car when they noticed someone was inside.
The woman can be heard calling out for help saying, “Oh my God, I’m drowning.”
First the men try to break the car’s back window but fail.
As the car’s fabric roof starts to tear, one of the men leaps into the water, yanking the woman out as the car fills with water.
“Get my dog,” the woman frantically pleads after the rescuer saves her life.
The man who jumped into the water to save the woman, then dives back into the water to look for her missing dog.
A man on the boat says “maybe she’s gone” but the woman was defiant saying, “no, she better not be.”
“I got your dog,” says the rescuer as he pops out of the water with her dog in his arms.
At the end of the video, as they wait for the boat to pick them up, the dog rubs his head against his owner’s cheek.
