Big Dogs Make for a Big Rescue – VIDEO

By Admin - Deanna, on September 25th, 2009 |

In Security, CO, two big, beautiful St. Bernards were out for a walk the other day and managed to get themselves in a watery jam. Seems they decided to explore a drainage ditch near Grand Blvd. and Aspen Dr. and wound up in chest high water and couldn’t get out. Luckily for them, the Security Fire Department came to their rescue and with the exception of a few bumps and scrapes and being quite soggy, they’re fine and were taken off to the Humane Society.

Sadly these those sweeties had no collars or tags and are listed as strays. Their owner(s) have 5 days to claim them (from 9/23/09) or up for adoption they go.

Know anyone who wants a St. Bernard? Hopefully someone comes to claim or adopt these big guys soon. Just amazes me to see two beautiful dogs like this as strays.

I hope they put up a fence around that drainage ditch before some child or dog ends up drowning in it. It’s a lawsuit waiting to happen.

This is so sad, because as Susan says, it could have been a small child.

I don’t understand why these two were not chipped or have collars on. They are so cute – big slobbering luv bugs. Hope their owner shows up soon.

I can’t believe that no one has come to claim them. They are just beautiful. I am glad they were rescued and hope this brings some awareness to the problem of this ditch. They need to screen it. This would also keep all the garbage out of the ditch.

Awww ^-^

I love Saint Bernards. I love malamutes too of course. ;D

Hope the owner comes to fetch them, they’re beautiful examples of dogs.

Makes me wonder if they’re registered. This is a good example of how there should be exceptions to spay/neuter if the dogs are still intact. There are different types of phenotypes in breeds. I like the types of mask they have on them.

I agree with the other posters… no fence around the drainage ditch is a lawsuit waiting to happen. I’m going to give the council of the area a call and start asking questions as to why they haven’t done anything about the critical issue.
