Barking Dog Helps Save Boy From Pond

[Sequoia]

(06-10) 15:51 PDT Vancouver, Wash. (AP) --

A barking family dog helped parents save the life of a 2-year-old boy who fell into a pond at a golf course near their home.

Young Sammy Lobey disappeared from the front yard of his parents' home on Tuesday night. The parents began a frantic search, and when Ronald Lobey called for his 2-year-old black Lab, Maddie, the dog barked from behind a neighbor's house across the street.

"I yelled for my dog and she barked" but refused to leave the pond, where Ronald Lobey found his son, submerged and unconscious.

The father began performing CPR and got the boy breathing.

"Pops in the alley getting his ass kicked by a pimp because he slapped a crack ho? You go, girl. Mom will get the house now."

2. The dog was probably trying to drown the kid.
