Wow, talk about a real life Lassie! A man in Maryland was walking with his dogs earlier this week and got stuck, knee-deep in the mud. The more he tried to get out, the more it acted like quicksand and he sunk further! So his dogs took off to find help. Nearby cyclists say they heard the dogs barking and followed them back to the man. Check out these pics! I\’d say steak dinners are in order for these pooches~
