Firefighters rescued an elderly dog Wednesday morning, Jan. 6, after it was spotted trapped on a small island in the South Santiam River behind Mountain Shadows mobile home park.

The dog, a border collie cross named Maggie, is owned by Paul and Carol Le-Croy, who live next to the river in the park. She disappeared Monday after Paul Le-Croy left his car door open to carry some groceries to the house, he said. Maggie, who is about 12 years old, according to LeCroy, is a companion dog for Carol Le-Croy, who suffered a stroke six years ago.
