REDWOOD CITY, CA — A grieving couple who lost their dog after a Bay Area fireworks display have now been happily reunited. It's all thanks to a sharp-eyed canoer who saw something that didn't look right and decided to help out.

If one thing is clear, it's that 8-month-old goldendoodle Leilani is not a fan of fireworks. Her owners, Elizabeth and Kevin Dalonzo, had her with them near the Port of Redwood City when the July 4th fireworks began going off.

"Like, I have her, right?" said Elizabeth. "But once the first firework goes off, she completely bolts. She freaks out and jets off, so quickly I couldn't even move in time, react in time."
