Toni Yates has the story.Several people came together in New Jersey and jumped into action to save the life of a dog that nearly drowned in a lagoon.Kathy Gelsomine, Brandy's owner, said the Jack Russel Terrier is 14 years old and blind.
"She's my life, my husband's gone, he's been gone for five years February, and she's like a child to me," Gelsomine said. Gelsomine said Brandy was going to the bathroom, backed out of her leash and took off down the sidewalk -- probably without even knowing she was headed for the water.Gelsomine watched as fatigue or hypothermia began to impact the Jack Russel Terrier. She said she started to roll, either from losing her balance or hypothermia setting in.
Sgt. Christopher Woit and Officer Jesse Waterson arrived and started chest compressions on Brandy and she coughed up water and started breathing again."They picked her up and when she went by me her tongue hanging out and they went off with their sirens blazing," Gelsomine said.Brandy is now back at home with her grateful owner thanks to so many people who helped.
