BRIDGEWATER, Pa. — A dog that had been missing for six days in Beaver County, amid brutal winter weather, was rescued on Tuesday night.

Firefighters who arrived on scene said Willow was 20 feet below on a 24-inch ledge of the bridge.
The Beaver County Technical Rescue team was requested to the scene, bringing crews from New Brighton, Chippewa, Aliquippa and Baden.
