News Next Door: Cop Saves Dog in Schuykill River

A dog may be man's best friend, but every now and then, man returns the favor.

Monday morning in Royersford was one of those times. Shortly before 9:00 a.m., Royersford Police Department patrolman Mark Smythe received a radio report from a passerby that a dog was trapped under a log in the Schuylkill River.

Smythe responded to the scene, jumped into the river, and helped rescue the dog with the help of bystanders.

The dog was treated by a local veterinarian and later returned to his owners.
