More than 50 people and 6 dogs rescued from Ohio’s Cuyahoga River less than a day after father-son duo disappeared while tubing

An Ohio fire department rescued more than 50 people in just three hours — including children and six dogs who were thrown out of their rafts and kayaks on the Cuyahoga River during unexpectedly rough currents Sunday afternoon.

The massive rescue effort came a day after a father and his 5-year-old son drowned after being knocked out of their tube by the river’s rushing waters.

The City of Kent Fire Department originally responded to a report that 11 people, including six children, had fallen out of their rafts and were struggling to climb out of the river on Sunday.
