Woman, dog rescued from mud in East Moriches marsh, police say

A 68-year-old woman and her dog were rescued from an East Moriches marsh unharmed Saturday afternoon, Suffolk County police said.

Paula Eagle was found stuck in a marsh at the end of Bay Street at 2:07 p.m., police said. First responders threw her a rope, she tied it around her waist and they pulled her out of the mud. 

The two police officers and a firefighter from the East Moriches Fire Department then rescued Eagle’s dog “Charlie.”

It is unclear how the East Moriches woman and her dog got stuck in the marsh.
