Harrowing hike Thursday for 24-year-old Kyle Prado and seven-month-old striker. This is all your fault. The Australian Shepherd took off chasing *** duck. Prado ran after him and started to get *** sinking feeling. My first step was up to the knee and then over 30 minutes I sank down to my waist. I felt stuck and I thought I was going to keep sinking further, so it was *** little terrifying. It was also incredibly cold. For 45 minutes he was sinking into what's left of Stump Pond in Blydenberg Park, which lost all of its water in *** summer storm. Every time I moved, I just fell further, so I was like I'm trying to stay still. Prado found out just how deep this mud is the hard way. I'm thinking this is it. Like I still don't believe that it was actually happening, but It was *** trained paramedic, he calmly phoned *** friend with his location pin. I tell her, Hey, I need you to come find me. I think I'm slipping in quicksand. But his roommate jogging nearby lost cell service. I was just screaming his name as loud as I could at this point. I was very panicked when I was stopping the bystanders. They were all like, There's no quicksand here. The muddy shoe was now on the other foot. This first responder was the one. Who needed saving with his hands still free, he managed to call 911. Firefighters and police with *** chopper pinged his phone to locate him. Prado tried to warn the responding officer not to get too close. He too lost his footing before being able to pull Prado out to the delight of Stryker. I'm very grateful that he didn't listen to me. He helps his life. *** bath. Everyone else is getting *** lesson in the dangers of winter mud. It's similar to that quicksand that we all saw on cartoons when we were kids. It's going to hold you in and and not you have no recourse of trying to push your way out because it's all around you. No more hikes for striker in Blydenberg Park until the pond is fixed, which is in the works in Medford, Long Island, Carolyn Gusoff, CBS News, New York.
