A dog is lucky that several Coast Guard members were out for a day of training yesterday on Lake Pontchartrain.
It seems a boater spotted the pooch swimming in the lake about a mile off shore from the University of New Orleans and notified the agency.
The boat crew found the obviously well-soaked dog and brought it back to dry land, leaving it with an animal shelter and the hope it could be reunited with its owner.
