The water was too ruff for this pooch.

A dog was rescued off the coast of Florida Wednesday night by a US Coast Guard crew that happened to be nearby on night patrol, the military service said.

The crew stationed at Fort Myers Beach was near Bowditch Point when “they received a call of a pup in distress,” and sprang into action, the US Coast Guard tweeted on Thursday.

Dramatic footage of the rescue, shot from the vessel, shows the boat carefully pull up alongside the animal, who’s doggy-paddling to stay above water.

“Come here pup,” said one Coast Guard member before whistling to the dog.

The dog briefly swims away, but less than a minute later, the crew positions itself close enough to the pooch to execute the rescue, the video shows.

They pull the dog from the water and took the animal back to shore to its awaiting owner.

“Thanks to the crew’s expertise in intercepting non-compliant vessels (NCV) and recovering a person in the water (PIW), our “star” of the night was safely recovered and returned to her owner!” the crew’s station wrote on Facebook Wednesday night.
