Seuferer says the dogs' owner reportedly couldn't carry the dogs out and called crews in for help.
"They were lashing out. The one I carried was lashing out ... So I ended up doing a leash wrap mussel and carrying him back," Seuferer said.
The dogs are now safe at Horry County Animal Care Center, where they'll remain until it's safe to return home.
SD Humane Society was assisted Horry County Police and Humane Society of the United States.
