MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — A dog was found on the roof of a Myrtle Beach hotel Monday night, police said, WPDE reported.
A hotel employee was seen on a ladder at the Compass Cove hotel, helping to get the small black dog down when police got to the scene.
The employee said the dog had been outside for two or three hours and was unsure where it came from.
