Two weeks ago, a three-year-old golden retriever named Chunk went missing. Chunk’s owners, Jim and Mary Zangara, put “lost dog” posters up around their neighborhood in Brick, New Jersey, and hoped for the best.
Well, those posters worked. Two joggers in the area recognized Chunk from the posters and reported seeing him jump into Barnegat Bay. They reported seeing Chunk to the New Jersey State Police — and the rescue effort was on.
Two troopers — Ryan Koehler and Vincent Ferdinandi — got in a boat and used a line as a leash to guide Chunk safely to shore.
Jim and Mary report that Chunk lost a bit of weight, making him less chunky. He also had some matted fur and was covered in ticks, but otherwise was healthy after his two-week adventure in the wilderness — and the water. (CBS News)
