A poor-visioned pup is back in the arms of his owner after he got stuck in a marsh.

Wally disappeared Monday in the area of the Vernon River in Savannah. It was dark out and his owner feared that Wally may have wandered into a nearby marsh.

“Wally is a sweet pup, but his vision isn’t what it used to be,” the Savannah Police Department said in a post on its Facebook page. “When he went missing ... his owner was beside herself.”

So Wally’s owner called for help. When he got to the home, Officer Hernandez with the Savannah Police Department said he could hear Wally out in the marsh but couldn’t quite get to the dog.

That’s when Hernandez called in other Delta Watch officers to help. They quickly jumped into action, with Officer McDonnell changing into a wetsuit.

Once geared up, the officers went into the marsh and rescued Wally, who was “just a little dirty.”
