CBS11 shared a video of the rescuers attempting to reach the dog via boat. The boat was unable to get close enough for a safe rescue and the frightened dog thwarted any attempts rescuers could make to carry it to safety.
Two men, reported to be Kyle Scott and Roy Ethridge, later returned to the spot with their own boat. After earning the dog’s trust with snack sticks, they were able to complete the rescue.
The men named the dog Harvey.
