Diva the Wonder Dog

On Saturday July 12th. My husband and I were cruising in our boat with our two pets around Sinclair Point to Sport Island pub on Sacandaga Reservoir to meet one of our friends. When we arrived our friend asked where Diva our Scottie was.

To our horror she was gone and must have fallen off the boat at some point. We had no idea where but we stopped to take a plastic bag off our propeller off Sinclair Point and thought she may have fallen off there. This all happened around 5:15.

We went back searching and telling everyone we could to look out for her. We even dialed 911 and called over a police boat to help us. Out to the point we went and back with no sign of her. Our hearts sank and we started for home looking and hoping but it was 8:15 and hope was fading fast.

As I started to lose all hope I saw a little black object on a beach and told my husband to drive closer. As we approached we saw the tips of her ears and her red collar.

Yes it was our Diva! We joyously picked her up but we're amazed that she could have gotten to the beach. We figure she must have swam for at least a 1/2 mile in choppy water with boats all around. It is a miracle we found our little dog. We will now always have her life preserver on.
