A 6-year-old sheltie that ran away after being frightened by New Year's Eve fireworks spent about 20 days on the roof of an old sewing factory warehouse before being rescued, according to West Easton, Pa., news report. Because the industrial area slopes down toward the Lehigh River, the roof of the main warehouse is level with the parking lot. The dog apparently jumped from the main roof down about five feet to a lower roof on a smaller section of the building, where it became trapped.
