A family’s beloved pet dog went missing in a thick mountain of sea foam prompting a frantic search by desperate family members.
Hazel the dog disappeared in a giant cloud of sea foam at a Gold Coast beach on Monday afternoon.
Sea foam forms when storms roll in and the ocean is agitated by wind and waves which is currently occurring in the state following the ‘once in a 100-year storm’.
Heart-stopping footage captured by 7News showed desperate family members making their way into the thick sea foam, calling out for Hazel.
Four people were involved in the search which ended in relief when Hazel was finally found.
Social media users slammed the family for being at the beach while many in the area are closed due to the dangerous weather.
‘That could have ended tragically – what are people doing at beaches anyway – they’re closed for a reason,’ someone wrote.
‘Once again idiocy comes to the forefront. Beach closed, idiots get it in their minds to go for a day at the beach,’ another commented.
‘Why would you go there in the first place?’ someone else questioned.
‘Idiots shouldn’t be down there in the first place. Beaches closed yeh!!’ another comment read.

Wild weather conditions have continued to lash Australia’s eastern seaboard, with cyclonic winds and damaging surf wreaking havoc for coastal communities and a famous beach in Byron Bay disappearing due to erosion.
The La Nina storm system has battered northern New South Wales and south-east Queensland over the weekend, with more dangerous weather conditions forecast heading into Christmas.
Cyclone-like weather including heavy rain, damaging winds, flooding and dangerous surf conditions will remain in northern NSW into this week, causing widespread erosion of idyllic beaches.
The BOM says thunderstorms could lead to the possibility of very heavy rainfall and dangerous flash flooding, with between 300 and 600mL of rain due to fall in the region by Tuesday.
‘At this stage, the widespread heavy rainfall is expected to ease late Tuesday or early Wednesday,’ the BOM said.
‘Thunderstorms may still produce localised heavy falls that may lead to flash flooding during Wednesday.’
Bureau of Meteorology flood manager Justin Robertson said the storm system had exceeded forecasters predictions and more rain was possible.
