As the Hurricane Helene-driven waters rose around the Nolichucky River in Tennessee, Boone McCrary, his girlfriend, and his chocolate lab headed out on his fishing boat to search for a man who was stranded by floodwaters that had leveled his home.

McCrary and his dog Moss never made it out of the water alive.
