During a Dec. storm , in the early hours, some guy was watching the huge waves at the Lighthouse in Santa Cruz, Ca. His dog was with him and somehow the dog went over the cliff and into the water. It's cold, windy, dark and storm seas. So this guy went in after his dog. He was killed and about 6 AM the dog paddled ashore about a half mile away next to the wharf. It was thought that the guy "may" have been drinking, the dog, it seems had not.
