It always touches me when I see public servants, police, firefighters, ect. go that extra mile to save or rescue a beloved pet. This was the case in Pasadena, CA, when a 13 yr-old deaf Chow found herself trapped in an underground septic tank.
Crystal fell in the old, unused septic tank yesterday after rains had washed away the cover and the owner didn’t realize it. When the owner returned home, she heard her beloved pooch but didn’t see her. It didn’t take long to figure out where she was and what happened and a call for assistance brought out the big guys.
Firefighters with the department’s urban search and rescue team brought in equipment to open the hole up so someone could get in there and rescue Crystal. Armed with a treat, one of the firefighters made his way down and a short time later he was back topside with a clearly exhausted dog.
Crystal was taken to the vet and she may have serious injuries but she is alive. Her grateful owner has transferred her somewhere so that she can get treatment.
Kudos to the Pasadena FD! Thanks for going the extra distance and seeing that this beloved family pet was more than ‘just a dog.’
Hopefully someone will send this to that Fire Chief jerk Glynn Johnson of LA County. Nuff said.
Wow, with all the bad raps the police and fire get, this is wonderful news. There are some public servants who do care! This should be sent to the Fire Chief.
Yeah!!!!
NOW THIS IS ONE STORY I DON’T MIND POSTING ON MYSPACE. ESPECALLY AFTER THAT JERK GLYNN JOHNSON DID WHAT HE DID TO HIS NEIGHBORS PUPPY.
Great news there are some real humans out there willing to gothe extra mile for our pets Thank you for going the extra mile guys and girls
