 One Pike County couple is breathing a sigh of relief after their four-legged family member returned home after being swept away by floodwaters. William and Melody Blankenship's dog Blue, who is blind, got scared by the crash of Thunder Monday morning and ran into the swollen creek outside their home at Majestic. Blue was unable to fight the current and the Blankenships were unable to do anything but watch as their dog was carried away by the current. Melody says that William got in his truck and tried to go after the dog, but he could only get so far before being stopped by a water-covered roadway. The couple was left with nothing else to do but pray for Blue's safe return. And about three hours later those prayers were answered. A neighbor who knew of the situation spotted Blue returning home and let the couple know. And this is the moment he arrived home safely. Melody says that because Blue is blind and isn't as spry as he once was now that he is getting older, she has no idea how he was able to make it back home. She's just thankful that her prayers were answered.
