Binghamton firefighters rescue dog from river island
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – A golden retriever is safe at home with her family after being rescued from an island in the Susquehanna River.
Members of the Binghamton Fire Department gave Winnie a boat ride to shore on Thursday afternoon.
On Wednesday morning at about 11:30, a member of the Hatala family was preparing to take the 3-year-old English cream golden retriever for a walk when the dog spotted some Canadian geese and chased after them, crossing their invisible fence.
The Hatala's launched a full-scale search near their home on Binghamton's Westside and received reports that Winnie was spotted swimming in the river.
After the dog spent Wednesday night on an island in the river, a Binghamton Police drone was able to locate Winnie, and firefighters launched their rescue craft.
Winnie and the Hatala family were overjoyed by the reunion, with Winnie wagging her tail before curling up for a long nap.
The Hatala's say they plan to take Winnie to visit the fire station with a thank you gift in the near future.

Dozens of Palestinians killed making their way to Gaza aid hub: Report
Dozens of Palestinians were killed Sunday when going to a Gaza aid hub, officials and witnesses said, according to The Associated Press. Crowds were fired upon by Israeli forces close to 1,000 yards from an Israeli-supported aid foundation's site, witnesses said, the AP reported. Thirty-one people died and 170 were injured, the Gaza Health Ministry said, according to the outlet. Israel's army said in a statement it was 'currently unaware of injuries caused by (Israeli military) fire within the Humanitarian Aid distribution site,' according to the AP. A statement from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation pushed back on stories of disorder and gunfire near its sites and said that aid was provided by the foundation 'without incident,' the outlet reported. Israeli military action in the Gaza Strip since the deadly Oct. 7, 2023, attack on the country has caused the mass destruction of infrastructure in the territory, as well as widespread death and injury among the residents of Gaza. The dire situation faced by Gaza's residents has resulted in international pressure on Israel over its treatment of those living in the territory, with figures like the newly-minted Pope Leo XIV calling for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and French President Emmanuel Macron saying in a recent statement that they were 'strongly' against 'the expansion of Israel's military operations in Gaza.' 'The level of human suffering in Gaza is intolerable. Yesterday's announcement that Israel will allow a basic quantity of food into Gaza is wholly inadequate. We call on the Israeli Government to stop its military operations in Gaza and immediately allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza,' the joint statement, posted on the social platform X by Carney on May 19, read.
