ATLANTA (AP) The 38 dogs were tired and fighting for their lives when fishermen noticed the first head floating above the water.

While hunting foxes, the hound dogs became sidetracked and dove into a sizable Mississippi lake. Bob Gist realized they had no chance as he went fishing on the lake.

‘The Mississippi River is swimmable by deer, and, on Friday, he recalled, ‘Dogs are not going to catch a deer in the water.’

Gist and the others understood that they would not survive either unless immediate action was taken.

The insurance agent from Jonesboro, Arkansas, drove their tiny boat over with a guide named Jordan Chrestman and a friend named Brad Carlisle.

Dogs were present everywhere, according to Gist. ‘They didn’t know which way to go and were kind of swimming in circles.’

The three men began snatching up any dogs they could while the terrified owners of the dogs watched from the shore.

Three trips to shore were necessary since there were too many to accommodate on the bass boat.

Two of the other canines are standing calmly behind the seats, staring ahead as Chrestman stands next to them, steering.

Gist declared, ‘Jordan is the hero here,’ noting that the guide had quickly hurried the boat over after recognizing the danger.

‘If Jordan hadn’t been it, it would have resulted in 38 dogs dying.

By then, the dogs had likely spent fifteen or twenty minutes in the water, according to Gist.

The men had to put their heads out of the water to reach for some of them because they were so exhausted. After that, each dog was thrown aboard.

According to Gist, the survivors had been in the water for 45 to an hour before the last of them were rescued.

According to Chris Gurner, a natural resource expert with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

which patrols Grenada Lake, dogs can ‘follow game relentlessly, as in this case,’ especially when hunting, but he noted that it is uncommon for them to get so far from shore.

Though they were hunting foxes, according to him, it is not uncommon for dogs to chase after any living thing that frightens them.

Gist stated, ‘We always have the chance to assist someone.’ ‘Act when you witness something occasionally.’
