First Dog at Mud House on AP Rescue Day, the Rotti/Corgi


Petfinder Page on the Rottie-Corgi

The first dog that was completely pulled out from the Mud house, on AP Rescue Day. Date anyone?

An AP Videoographer followed us one mid day run, and what a day it was! Saul, the AP Videoographer lost his cell phone. We ended up pulling three dogs out from under a house we had to dig to get to. The space where the dogs were, was about ten feet deep, and only the width between two joists (16"). I don't have a link to the video anymore. The New York Times link is archived or something. If anyone has it please post!

Later we caught two other dogs napping in the school yard, and found many other around in the area that we couldn't get that day. We returned to the school, and caught other dogs, and other teams came with traditional traps to try to catch some too.

The last dog we pulled out. Nicknamed Mud Puddle.

Anyone want to write the story of the Mud House?
