What firefighters found when they arrived was a dogwho was struggling for her life. "We saw the dog a quarter mile out in the water with her head just above the surface," said Steve Decry, firefighter. "Her paws - every once in awhile- would come above the water." Decry said three rescuers - Frank Buck, Walt Baumer, and Troy Reynolds - manned the boat immediately. "They had to break ice as they went along. We could see her see her any other way," Decry said. The entire rescue from the water, he said, took approximately 45 minutes. "They had to break ice to get back out, too," said Decry. Decry said the rescuers estimat- ed that the dog had been in the wa- ter a total of two to two-and-a-half hours. Once they had her, they gave her oxygen and began warming her. "Then we put her in our am- bulance and transported her to Sa- vannah Road Animal Hospital, where three ladies were awaiting Our arrival," said Decry. The hospital had been given ad- vance warning from Linda Anag- telephone to notify the veterinari- an's office. The hospital staff used heated towels and warm packs, and warmed intravenous fluids to slowly bring the dog's temperature up. The dog, who the staff prompt- ly named "Firehouse Dog", was also kept in a heated cage. Marcy Rinaldi and Louise En- right, receptionists at the animal hospital, said Firehouse Dog is probably a Labrador/chow mix about a year old. She was not wearing a collar when she was found, and their ef- forts to.locate her owner have been futile. Firehouse Dog is up for adoption. "Firehouse Dog" was res- cued by Lewes VFD from a sure death in Red Mill Pond.
