ORANGE, Mass. -- It was a scene right out of an episode of "Lassie." Police said a dog approached an officer Tuesday barking frantically, then led the officer across a field and down an icy, 30-foot embankment, where the dog's canine companion had become entangled in undergrowth. Firefighters used a ladder to free the trapped dog. The two dogs had run off hours earlier when their owner suffered a medical emergency at her home and was taken to the hospital.
