Video shows U.S. Coast Guard helicopter rescuing 3 people, 2 dogs on giant pink flamingo

'This situation had the potential to become much worse, in a hurry,' Public Affairs Specialist 1st Class Nate Littlejohn of the 17th Coast Guard District told Newsweek.

The U.S. Coast Guard rescued three people and two dogs stuck after floating on an inflatable pink flamingo near Kodiak Island, Alaska over the weekend.

Video of the rescue that was posted to YouTube appears to show several figures being hoisted one-by-one from the outcropping of rocks skywards into the helicopter, while the flamingo sits on the shore a significant distance away.
