Dog's Barking Saves Man's Life on Mohawk River
Vincent Barone, 73, of Schenectady nearly drowned in the Mohawk River when his mongrel dog Blackie barked to alert a passerby. The bystander summoned Barone's son-in-law Benny Lencewicz, who alerted the fire department. Rescue crews on a Barge Canal boat hauled Barone to shore with help from Frank De Matteo, Harry Waonshalter, Fre Jaden, and Clement Biesser. Barone, in poor health, likely lost balance stepping from a rowboat moored at shore.
