Dog rescued from icy water in Fort Mill

FORT MILL, SC -- A dog that was rescued from a freezing cold creek on Sunday night has been reunited with her owner.

Officials at York County Animal Control said the chow's owner came forward on Tuesday.

"The dog was just as glad to see her owner as her owner was to see the dog," supervisor Chris Peninger told the Rock Hill Herald.

Peninger said the dog, named Polly, apparently wandered off during fireworks on New Year's. On Sunday night, the dog was found stuck in a freezing creek in Fort Mill.

Fort Mill Rescue and York County Animal Control officials worked for more than an hour Sunday night to get Polly out of the creek. The dog was not seriously injured.

Peninger said Polly is between 13 and 14 years old and has hearing and seeing disabilities.
