News We Love: 'Banks,' a dog pulled from a muddy Iowa river, may soon have a new home

Recently, Banks, a Great Pyrenees, was rescued after getting stuck in mud along the Iowa River outside Marshalltown, with firefighters launching a boat because the area was heavily wooded, said Raue.
Because he was in mud, Banks’ thick coat helped his rescue, and no information has been released about his owners or how he ended up on the riverbank, Austin Gillis said.
Deputy Fire Chief Curt Raue praised the rescue, calling it `as textbook as it could be` after firefighters freed Banks quickly.
After the rescue, Banks was turned over to the Marshalltown Animal Rescue League, cleared by veterinarians — `Vets gave us a clear bill of health` — and is expected to be groomed this weekend.
Following the rescue, local media reported Banks may soon have a new home, with a firefighter having filed paperwork, reflecting community interest.
