GLASTONBURY, Conn. (AP)– Rescuers, some using canoes, pulled dozens of dogs and horses from mud and a rapidly rising Connecticut River at a farm in Glastonbury on Monday.

“We saw the horses in the water up to their bellies,” said Don Gustafson, an animal rescuer. “We found the dogs swimming with their heads sticking up.”

Several horse and dog trailers were parked at the pasture at a Glastonbury meadow for the Northeastern Open Shooting Dog Championship competition. Handlers who arrived Monday morning found 20 horses tied in a field and 80 dogs in a trailer.

All were trapped by rising floodwaters.
