An ordinary workday quickly turned into a rescue mission after a bridge inspector spotted a stranded dog 120 feet above the Mississippi River
Ryan Nataluk was working alongside his crew on Sunday afternoon when Craig Jenkins, one of his bridge inspection engineers, noticed something out of the ordinary on the Natchez--Vidalia Bridge."Craig called over the radio,"I see a dog!" said Nataluk."We've never seen a live dog before so at first I thought it was a raccoon."After a second look, it was most definitely a dog that somehow managed to get stuck on a lower chord of the bridge.
— Stantec September 22, 2020 Nataluk says he climbed down onto the bridge deck and placed the dog in the harness. The video then shows him working with officer John Fenly to pull her up to safety. He says he was concerned that she may have been injured but those fears quickly subsided. "When we got her up there she just started walking immediately and wagging her tail," said Nataluk."You could tell she was really happy.
