Woman and her dog heroically rescued from floodwaters
<p>Amid some of the worst flooding the US state of Louisiana has ever seen, a beautiful act of bravery has been captured on video.</p>
<p>A woman and her dog were trapped in their rapidly-sinking car in the capital of Baton Rouge when they were spotted by a rescue boat.</p>
<p>“Oh my god I'm drowning,” the woman can be heard shouting from the convertible before rescuer David Phung tears open its roof, pulling her from the car.</p>
