I was walking down the highway by my house, crossing the bridge over the river that I live on, when I looked over the side and saw a dog stranded in the middle of it. Less than a year old, this black lab was. After three hours and and one time falling back in from halfway up, we got the dog out. The water was near freezing temps and it rained and sleeted that night and froze. The dog, Animal Control said, would not have made it. I'm glad I was out that day to see her.
