In this photo, do you see that white
helmet next to the dog on the ground? Well, that helmet is attached
to the head of Patrick Armitage, a 1993 Lincoln Community High
School graduate, now living in Florida. |

|
Armitage is a fire medic at
the South Walton Fire District. The dog had fallen into a 15 feet
deep hole and was trapped, unable to save itself.

Armitage put on a harness and was lowered into the hole by fellow
firefighters. He secured the dog, and both were pulled back up out
of the hole.
Armitage said it was quite the experience and the dog was very
grateful. He stood on his back paws and leaned into my chest. |

|
The rescue was filmed, and recently
the video and a feature about Armitage was aired on a Chicago
television station. Armitage said he thought maybe some of the folks
in Lincoln would like to see the photos. |

He noted that he keeps track of his
hometown because, "Even though I left, I still have love for the
hometown." |
