Summary:

DONEGAL, Pa. — Daniel Bogey said that he made a last-minute decision to check one of his properties in Donegal when he came across two dogs stuck in animal traps in the middle of a frigid, fast-moving stream. He said that if he hadn’t shown up, the two dogs would likely be dead. “I heard this awful howling and yelping, and I thought it was a pack of coyotes,” he said. “That water was freezing cold. You wouldn’t even want to stand in it. That dog was probably in that water for well over an hour,” Bogey said. He immediately called state police troopers and it took nearly three hours to get the dogs to safety. They were able to put blankets over them to help them start warming up.
