>>Hydro man lands in jail over poodle rescue
By Ann Kelley
HYDRO — A Hydro man sprung his poodle from the pound using a lawn tractor and bolt cutters, only to land himself behind bars with no one to rescue him. And while he was in jail, his dog was put back in the pound and euthanized.
Edwin Fry, 73, said he wasn’t going to let Buddy Tough rot in jail, but he didn’t intend to pay the $100 fine to free him.
