Sadie, a 17-year-old Chesapeake Bay Retriever, went missing on July 27 when she slipped [out of] her collar at Sleeping Giant State Park. Sadie is deaf, and between that and the size of the park, it was difficult for searchers to find her.

Steve Tobey, who had been out looking for Sadie several times and trying to organize a search party, headed out in Wednesday's storms to continue the search.

“I was just praying that I would find something and I stopped in a spot and the dog started barking. I thought it was on a ledge but it was under the ground," he said.

Another searcher, Russell, climbed into the hole, got a leash around Sadie's neck, and brought her out. Sadie's owner, Chris Roush, said it was an emotional moment.

Sadie was taken to the veterinarian for treatment. She has no broken bones but is weak and dehydrated.
