A couple is dead and their 16 year old son is missing after being swept into the sea in Northern California trying to save their dog.  A State Parks and Recreation Superintendent says the family was at the beach north of Eureka Saturday when the dog was pulled into the water while chasing after ten foot waves while chasing after a stick.  The boy went after the dog, prompting his father to go into the water after them.  The teenager was able to get out, but when he didn't see his father, he and his mother went into the water looking for him.  Rescuers retrieved the mother's body, and the father's body washed up.  The Coast Guard is still searching for the son.  The dog survived.
