A Holbrook man and his beloved dog are alive thanks to quick thinking and prompt actions by Suffolk County Police Marine Bureau officers.

They rescued a Holbrook man and his dog from the water Patchogue.

Ethan Brako was crabbing at Mascot Dock and Marina when his dog, Brina, a two-year-old pit bull, jumped into the water at approximately 3:26 a.m.

Brako jumped in but was unable to get out of the water.

Marine Bureau Officers Kyle Profit and Tyler Mankowski-Hassett, aboard Marine X-Ray, responded to a 911 call reporting the pair in the water and rescued Brako and Brina.

The 20-year-old Patchogue man and his four-legged friend Brina were not injured.
