With the way people do not want to get involved, that's not the way with the neighbors of Pelham Branch Road of Columbia.

Mark Willis's dog was missing since 2 am Sunday morning.



Fuzzy Richards and Mark went looking for the dog.

They had discovered that the dog fell down a 25 foot bank. This was very steep bank and the dog was at the bottom was Russell Creek.

All the neighbors of five different families got rope and lowered Mark and a canoe down the bank to Russell Creek. A neighbor, Roger, and Mark were able to get the dog into the canoe and floated down stream. The dog was sore and hungry, but glad to be back home.
