Passerby Spots Puppy Stranded On Creek Ledge, Gets Officer's Help For Rescue

UNIONTOWN (KDKA) -- A Uniontown City Police officer rescued a lost puppy Thursday thanks to an alert passerby.

Police say Deja Drake-Darnell was walking along a creek in the area of North Gallatin Avenue when she spotted the puppy stuck on a ledge.

Drake-Darnell ran over to Lieutenant Tom Kolencik's police car and told him where the dog was.

Kolencik got a ladder and went down to rescue the stranded pup.

In a Facebook post, Kolencik says he doesn't think the puppy would have survived the night and thanked Drake-Darnell for her help.

The dog was later reunited with its owner.
