While inspecting the U.S. Route 84 westbound bridge over the Mississippi River on Sunday, Stantec Bridge Inspector Craig Jenkins noticed a stranded hound dog on the adjacent bridge structure.

Ryan Nataluk, lead climber and rescue technician for the team, quickly called the police for assistance and climbed down to the dog. After assessing her for injuries and fashioning a makeshift harness for the dog out of rope, Ryan lifted her to safety.
