For weeks, citizens on Bolivar Peninsula have been trying to help a stray dog find a home. Every day the pup went to the Ferry Boat landing, but stray dogs were not allowed. Animal Rescuer Leanne Comeaux and others could get close enough to collar him.A few days ago, the pup decided to make a swim for it!! A couple was fishing in the bay, and saw a dolphin swimming with what they thought was another dolphin… Then realized it was a dog in the middle of the bay.
