Beau, an 18-year-old Labrador from Port St. Louise, Fla., wandered away from his home and got stuck in 3 feet of mud in a canal. Thanks to a neighbor and Port St. Louise Police, the elderly dog that is deaf and partially blind, is alive today.
Russell Walker, the pet owner, had no idea the old dog had left the home. Walker said he had seen his pet walk in the garage and in and out of the home, but it wasn’t until later that he realized the dog was gone.
A neighbor heard frantic dog cries and spotted the dog in trouble. She immediately called police and officers arrived ready to help Beau.
Using a boat, two officers approached the dog just in time, there was a gator across the canal and he could have easily taken Beau’s life.
The officers helped the pet get out of thick mud. The dog was placed inside the boat and later reunited with his worried owner.
Oh my! Glad they found him in the Nick of time!!!
thank god the police responded so quickly….
18!?? Wow!
Poor thing thank heavens he was saved! 🙂
*wandered* is the correct word. Glad he is safe and back home with his family. A missing animal is a scary feeling.
Poor dog! I pray he wil be returned to his loving family
