One lucky pooch is back home with her owners after crews with Flagler County Fire Rescue were able to rescue her from a 20-foot steep embankment along the Intercoastal Waterway. Crews say Mattie was found stuck in the mud after wandering into a densely wooded area and falling from a sheer drop along the water’s edge. “The crew from Station 41 was dispatched to assist Animal Control on Saturday afternoon," reported Lieutenant Mike Pius. “Together, we jumped into action and the rescue effort was underway.” Mattie is a blind Jack Russel Terrier and went missing during a stroll with her owners. They looked for hours for their missing beloved pet before calling Animal Control. Flagler County Animal Control located the dog with binoculars and called for additional help.
