Four nurses from the medical center quickly rushed to the spot. Running along the railway track they reached the spot to find the runaway dog in big trouble.
Kara Calor, a nurse with NLEMMC, said that when they reached the water, they found that Reilly was struck under a big rock. He was trying to maneuver his head. He seemed frightened.
The nurses were able to get down and save the dog. After the rescue, the nurses waited for animal control. An officer finally reunited Reilly with her family.
Norris is thankful to the nurses for having risked their lives and rushed to the freezing river. He was overwhelmed by an emotional outburst. The dogs are his life and he cannot bear to think of living without them.
