Lost dog found alive 36 hours after boating accident: ‘We are overjoyed’

CHARLESTON COUNTY, S.C. – Thirty-six hours after going missing during a boating accident, one family has been reunited with their beloved golden retriever after he traveled across the Ashley River.

It was on Sunday evening when Jeff Wiseman and his one-and-a-half-year-old golden retriever, Rocky, went out for a boat ride on the Ashley River. Becoming distracted by his phone, Jeff said he accidentally hit an abandoned concrete dock, launching both Jeff and Rocky in the water. 

Jeff swam to shore but couldn’t find Rocky. Despite extensive search efforts involving authorities and the community, Rocky remained missing. 

Finally, Rocky was found on Tuesday morning on the opposite side of the river, safe and chasing a raccoon on a couple’s dock in West Ashley. The owners say the lifejacket easily saved Rocky’s life.
