Meet George
PexelsGeorge Yanas is a Navy medic who almost lost hope when his buddy went missing.
On Their Way
PexelsOn January 16, George was driving with his service dog, Fenny, to the location where he was being stationed when his vehicle started having problems and eventually broke down.
Another Problem
PexelsGeorge and Fenny were stranded on the side of the road on a bridge in Whiskey Bay, Louisiana when an accident involving a FedEx 18-wheeler and an Iberville Parish Sheriff’s Office vehicle took place and another vehicle crashed into the back of their car.
Fenny Got Lost
PexelsFenny flew through the passenger side window and fell 65 feet from the bridge to a pile of cables below, and landed on an 18,000-acre private island while George was injured.
Finding Fenny
Facebook, Louisiana - Lost Dogs, Cats & PetsGeorge went to the area and searched for a week. He stayed with Jason Mouret who was a local in the area who helped look for Fenny.
The Search Continues
PexelsAfter that week, George was still unable to find Fenny so Jim LaGrone, an owner of a part of the private island, set up trail cameras and food stations to help look for the lost dog until he started capturing consistent video of Fenny.
They Found Him

Finally Home
