The Big Rescue

My mom and I rescued two boaters on Sunday evening!!  I was laying outside, while my mom was taking her bath around 8:00, when I saw 2 guys in a big raft.  They appeared to be having some trouble...I barked and mom came outside to see what was going on.  The current was running pretty strong, and mom shouted at the guys, asking if they needed some help.  They were suppose to be at a park upstream, but had gone past it.  Mom said, you have to get over to our side of the river and get out now, before it gets dark.....she had to REALLY convince them that what she was saying was right...I stood by her the entire time.  They finally made it over to our shoreline, with much difficulty, got out and carried their raft up to our backyard.  She offered to drive them to Independence, but they had a cell phone and called their uncle.  One of the guys had no shoes,  and neither of them had a life jacket.  If I had not barked, who knows what would have happened!!

Wow, Kennedy. You are truly a lifesaver! Good thing your mama listened to your barks and helped assist the rafters. We hope you are within barking distance when we hit the Willamette for kayaking/canoeing!

Good boy Kennedy! I am just wondering if your mother got properly dressed from her bath before she hustled outside! I can just hear her yelling to those guys to "get out of the river NOW"........
