Morning, I wonder if anyone can help.
Early this morning we were woken by people shouting our name, the Turkish neighbors, knowing we have dogs were asking for help.
By the time we came to help firemen were there and also the marinares, but as they were Turkish they were afraid of dogs and literally didn't know what to do.
This dog was in the water, actually under the pontoon and jammed between the two concrete plinths, WELL jammed. It had tried to swim towards the gap of daylight, so now, not only was it jammed between the concrete, it's paws and head were jammed into a nine inch gap.
Long story short, my husband got into the marina water and, wearing the fire and gauntlets ( cause the dog was scared, drowning but still had the energy to snap ) pushed the dogs neck and head backwards whilst I lay on my belly with my arms between the gap in the pontoon and dragged the poor thing backwards literally by its fur on its rump!
Once it was free from its head being jammed, a guy on a neighboring boat dived four foot below the pontoon and emerged with the dog, weak and in shock!
So now we have this dog, it's wearing a collar, so I can only presume it is somebody's, it's eaten now and has had water, he needs a sleep but seems ok from his ordeal. Does anybody recognize him, and what's the best thing to do with him, is there a rescue sanctuary in FETHIYE or Calis? Or maybe another lost/ found website or Facebook page?
I have attached pictures of " Stranger " ( that's his name ) and his watery hole!!!
