A man and his dog were rescued Sunday afternoon when their boat ran aground on submerged pilings in the Yaquina River near Toledo, according to a news release.

The Coast Guard responded to a call for help just before 2 p.m., when a 36-foot fishing troller called Mickey hit the pilings and became stuck in the river mud. The man and dog are safe and uninjured. The man will coordinate with the Port of Toledo to salvage his boat, which is still stuck, according to the release.

Although 100 gallons of fuel were on board the boat when it ran aground, no pollution was reported, according to the release.
