The Coast Guard also awarded medals to three other people who were on Phung's boat when the 28-year-old jumped into the floodwaters last summer and ripped open the top of a convertible to rescue Hailey Brouillette before the car sank into floodwaters. Phung also saved the woman's poodle mix, Sassy, from drowning. (Travis Spradling/The Advocate via AP)
