“A quiet morning turned into an incredible rescue scene for a Point Place man and his wife. Thanks to their quick action, a dog is safe tonight. This story is a great reminder of all the good in our community. From start to finish, the whole ordeal was about a half an hour long, but it will have a lasting effect on Matt Snyder and his wife Dana. Without the kindness and quick thinking of the Snyders, this story could have had a much different ending.”
“It all started Monday morning when Matt was working from home. He looked out his window and spotted what he first thought was a large bird. After looking through binoculars, Matt realized it was a dog.”
“Matt didn’t recognize the dog from the neighborhood, so he slowly approached it. At first, the dog started to walk to Matt, but then reversed course. The dog then jumped into the Ottawa River and began paddling. Matt jumped into action, quickly racing to get his boat in the water. At the same time Matt was getting in the boat, his wife Dana called 911.”
