Soaking Wet St. Bernard Rescued From New Jersey Pool

Was the St. Bernard rescued from a pool in New Jersey lost or did she just want to go for a swim?

Franklin Township police received a call on Wednesday about the dog from a homeowner who said there was a pup in their pool on Appleman Road. The wet dog was chest-deep in the pool's water when officers arrived.
