After Rescue at Bynum Run Pond, Dog Passes Away: Officials

Despite a dramatic rescue attempt by the Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company, a dog who had fallen in the water at Bynum Run Pond Tuesday did not survive, officials said Tuesday evening.

At approximately 4 p.m., the Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company had extended a ladder across the pond in the 700 block of Churchville Road, according to Rich Gardiner of the fire company.

Some firefighters traveled in the bucket at the end of the ladder tower to get to the dog, the fire company reported.

When they reached the animal, the dog was unconscious and not breathing, so first responders started CPR, the report said.

The Bel Air Police Department transported the dog to Harford Emergency and Referral Veterinary Services for treatment, according to the report.

“...unfortunately, the dog did not survive despite the best efforts of all involved,” Gardiner reported Tuesday evening. “We send our thoughts and prayers out to the dog owner and their family.”
