If you are a pet owner, you could admit that there are times that you could not get ahold of your pet’s curiosity, let alone its desire to explore. They get themselves caught in awkward situations, which could turn out to be hilarious, or they could get stuck into a position that is more dangerous than you thought.
This little dog got himself stuck underneath a porch staircase.
A dog in Connecticut ended up in a life-threatening situation as he got himself trapped beneath a porch. The owners panicked and called Rescue 17 to lend them a hand shortly after 11 pm. Thankfully, the rescue crew was able to swiftly reach the venue on Botsford Road.
The team assessed the situation before they could take action.
They first clarified how the dog got himself stuck, and then carefully checked the perimeter of the house. Before the investigation, it was reported that none of the owners knew how their pooch got stuck in such a strange location. To compensate for the lack of information, the team took out their thermal imaging camera.
The team managed to spot the poor pup’s location.
The pup showed up as a bright white shade on their thermal scanner.
“We lowered the camera into the first hole, and confirmed the little pup was stuck in back,” explained Ethan Iott, who was on the scene.
When they finally got its exact location, it was time for them to execute the rescue. The poor dog was stuck for hours, and they needed to act fast to save the scared pup.
They grabbed their equipment to dig the ground where the dog was spotted.
It did not take long for the rescuers to equip themselves with the necessary tools for the operation. They flashed their lights to illuminate the darkness and began digging in the ground. The burrowing took them 30 minutes until finally, they were able to scoop the pup. It was firefighter Riley Cronin who emerged from the hole, carrying the pooch safe and sound.
The long hours of panic and distress finally ended as the dog reunited with its owners.
It was a story of pure satisfaction and relief. The owners were thrilled to see their pup out of the hole, and everybody on the scene was happy for their reunion. The whole story was posted on the Facebook page of Great Hill Hose Co., and it is just one of the many heroic stories that they did in their community. Lucky for the family, the brave people were able to lend them aid at that time of the night.
How to avoid having your pets getting caught in a dangerous predicament.
It is a pet owner’s responsibility to keep their pets safe, though we cannot completely blame them if there are times their pets could slip away from their sights. Be sure to keep an eye on your pet, especially if they’ve gotten into precarious situations before. It is also important to take note of your pets’ behavior and eliminate elements in your home that might harm them. In case of emergencies, you could call a fire department like Great Hill Hose Co.
