Tampa resident Blair Haynes was walking his dog in Lake Park, as he has been doing for the past two years, but this time he would present a nightmare scenario.
The man threw the ball into the pond to get George out of his 95-pound lab, and it was then that he noticed a weed coming out of the weeds into the dog.
He called and called for his dog to come out of the water. But the goalkeeper grabbed George and pulled him under. At that moment, the man thought he had lost his dog.
But miraculously the dog approached and started running towards the land.
The lab used everything he had – somehow escaped the goalkeeper’s hand. He had to do 20 stitches and put in drainage, but the dog is alive and well.
Lesson learned. Now Blair will follow the rules of the park, especially the rules regarding keeping your dog permanently tied.
