text:  The pack chased after a deer that ran into the lake and Gist said the dogs were at least a mile from shore and he guessed they'd been treading water for at least 45 minutes to an hour. Gist on a Facebook post said, we all pulled dogs from the water and Jordan managed the recovery. He is the hero here. Gist went on to say they scooped up 27 dogs on the first load then ran them back to shore where a few of their owners were waiting. The fishermen then made two more trips and eventually got all 38 of the foxhounds back on dry land.
