She said every morning, Rylee swims in the lake near their home for about two hours, but she knew they were about six miles from shore, and wasn’t sure she’d make it.
“We ended up having over 20,000 people look at our post online and when I saw that I was like.we’re going to find the dog”, Fiedor said.
