Family drowns trying to rescue dog from churning waves at the beach

SAN FRANCISCO — Howard Kuljian and his family were out for a walk on a damp, overcast morning at Big Lagoon beach, playing fetch with their dog Fran as 10-foot surf churned the water just feet away like a washing machine.
Signs near the beach warned of “sneaker waves,” the kind that suddenly roar ashore.
Kuljian tossed a stick that took the dog down to the water’s edge, and in an instant, authorities said, a wave swallowed it, setting off a nightmarish scramble.
“Everything kind of snowballed from there,” said Coast Guard Lt. Bernie Garrigan.
Kuljian’s 16-year-old son, Gregory, ran to save the dog, only to be captured by the surging surf himself. Kuljian, 54, followed, and then his wife, Mary Scott, 57.
On shore, their 18-year-old daughter, Olivia, and Gregory’s girlfriend could only watch.
Both parents’ bodies were later recovered, but the boy — presumed dead — is still missing.
The dog eventually made it back to shore.
News of Saturday’s tragedy shocked many in the small college town of Arcata on the rough Northern California coastline about 280 miles north of San Francisco.

It sounds like the evil dog faked drowning just to troll everyone. Must have been a Pit Bull.

It’s baffling that people go into the ocean. Makes zero sense to me.
Why enter into a place that could ultimately kill you? You have little chance against an undertow or shark! I’ll stay away from going into something that could kill me in an instance.

Smart move. Stay away from all hazardous behaviors.

Waters edge, bullshit! Wouldn't let my son more than five feet into the ocean at 4. Stupid, irresponsible parents.

Never let kids walkout or near the water without holding their hand. See stupid parents doing this all the time. 🤦♂️

I was a lifeguard in Wildwood, NJ as a youth. I can't tell you how many times, after hours, that I had to go admonish parents for doing this with no lifeguards on duty.
