The first thing Laddie the border collie wanted to do when he was rescued from a rocky beach yesterday nearly 10 days after he went missing….was play.
Kyle and Brandon Baker rescued their dad’s wayward pup after someone spotted the dog on an inaccessible beach on Bell Island.
Kyle says he and his brother got their dad’s boat and went to the area, but couldn’t get in close enough. That’s when Kyle got out, and waded through the surf to get the dog on board.
He says Laddie appeared nervous at first until he heard Kyle’s voice, then the dog started to bark and jump.
Kyle says Laddie seemed fine despite his ordeal.
He says when they got the dog to the wharf, Laddie just wanted to play fetch, picking up a beach rock and dropping it in front of him, as if asking Kyle to throw it for him.
