WAUWATOSA, Wis. — Thanks to the community, a happy pup has been reunited with his owner.
A passerby walking near the Menomonee River in Wauwatosa this morning spotted Thor, a dog missing for five days, on a pile of rocks.
The passerby called animal rescue, which brought in a group of construction workers to create a dirt path and help Thor safely reach land.
"Abby snatched the dog as quick as she could," said Jasmine Greenbank. "[Thor] was not a fan and ended up biting her in the hand pretty bad, but we got the dog."

The pup was microchipped, which helped reunite him with his owners.
"It was really cool to see the construction workers and a bunch of random people walking up as we were walking out with the dog," said Abby Voss. "If nobody cared at all, who knows what would have been Thor's future, you know?"
The owners thanked the community, as well as the staff at Happy Paws Doggy Care and Billy's Posse for their help.
