Pennywise almost got my dog

For those of you not in the know Pennywise is the name of evil incarnate in Stephen King's book IT, who primarily inhabits the sewer's of Dury taking many innocent lives.

How did a fictional clown almost get my dog?  Finishing a hike down sunnyside my dogs took a slight detour to a fast flowing creek.  The wife and I kept on walking.  One dog took a drink, gave a yelp and ran to us.  Dog two didn't reappear.  We kept walking, dog two is known to roam but being a retriever always returns.  Except not this time.  20 minutes later we backtracked to the stream, and looked down the long drainage pipe the water fed into and gave a shout.  No response.  We walked a couple 100 yards to the first manhole cover, levered it off.  No dog.  We walked to the next manhole cover--gave another shout and still no response.  We kept walking and found the water drained into an uncovered steep decent and clinging to the side for dear life was dog two.  Our dog wasn't going to float with Pennywise in the sewer system today.  And she was not a fan of the 1/4 mile covered water park ride either.

Following up on the last post--there has been some questions about the alternative facts.  Due to popular demand I will give a couple of hints.  There is only one alternative fact, my son is planning on going as Kellyann for Halloween (maybe scarier than Pennywise) and I did work for Bill Colby 'consulting' in DC.

No more clues.
