So I just read in today's paper that the dog was on an ice flow in the Passaic River, in New Jersey. That thing was a toxic dump when my father was a kid - which didn't stop him from swimming in it, even when a dead horse floated by. is it still that vile? The dog may have been in the safest place in the river.
