Victoria floods: Dog owner feared to have fallen into waters in Traralgon

The unknown person and their dog were reported to have fallen into Traralgon Creek, east of the Latrobe Valley in Victoria's Gippsland region, at 5:30am on August 15.

Traralgon Creek burst its banks after it received rainfall totals of 45-85mm in the 24 hours to 9:00am on Monday.

CCTV footage showed the owner walking their dog down a street in Traralgon before they are believed to have been swept away.

A witness reportedly saw the dog owner roll up their trousers near the bank of the swollen creek before they were swept away with their pet.

Local police have searched the area and are unable to confirm whether the pair were swept away but are concerned for their welfare.
