Donora boy and his dog stranded on cliff

Most of us are familiar with the stretch of road on the opposite side of the river that runs from Webster to Monessen. Here is a photo from 60 years ago from The Daily Republican. They reported that a boy, John Antonio from Donora, got stuck 75 feet up and was rescued by the Monessen Fire Department. I wonder what ever became of John and his dog. There was never a follow-up story, as far as I can tell. There is a possibility that the newspaper misspelled the boy’s name, so it could be the common Italian surname D’Antonio.

If you know John or remember what happened, leave a message in the comment section below or send me an email on my contact page. It would be awesome to hear the rest of the story!
