Fishing Crew Rescues Over 3 Dozen Huntings Dogs Treading Water in Mississippi Lake.

'We Rescued Every Dog We Saw'

The 38 hounds were stranded in Grenada Lake for at least 45 minutes to an hour, about a mile offshore.

The dogs in the midst of a fox hunt became distracted by a deer and plunged into the lake chasing it. They became disoriented after they were unable to see the shoreline.

Bob Gist of Jonesboro, Ark. happened to be at Grenada Lake in Mississippi with his friend Brad Carlisle of Covington, Tenn. and their guide, Jordan Chrestman, sprung into action.

“There were dogs everywhere,” Gist said. “They were kind of swimming in circles and didn’t know which direction to go.”

As the dogs' frantic owners watched from the shore, the three men started grabbing whatever dogs they could. There were too many to all fit on the bass boat, so three trips to shore were needed.

“When we first started there was this white one that Brad tried to reach for and the dog bit at him. He moved closer to me, so I tried to reach for him, and he tried to bite me, so we left him.” Gist told the radio station. “When we came back for the second load it was probably 30-45 minutes later. By that time, he was ready to get in the boat. He wasn’t biting anybody.”

The owners reportedly tried to show their gratitude by giving the three money, but the trio declined the offer, saying they just happened to be in the right place at the right time
