Dog survives plunge into icy Fox River
FOX LAKE – Seeing no alternative, Penny the pooch leaped from a McHenry bridge to the icy Fox River below Wednesday – and survived.
The Rhodesian ridgeback-boxer had been missing from a Ringwood home for more than five days when she found herself on the bridge near Riverside Drive and Pearl Street.
With the help of bystanders and rescuers, the year-old dog was saved from the icy waters of the Fox River. She has a few bumps and bruises to remember her big splash.
