A dog stuck under the outdoor patio of a Lake Stevens home was rescued last week after several Snohomish firefighters sprang into action to “safely free the pup.”
Snohomish Regional Fire and Rescue (SRFR) firefighters from Station 81 received a call from the Lake Stevens Police Department for help rescuing the dog, SRFR reported Monday.
Once firefighters arrived, crews carefully removed several planks from the patio to reveal the stuck dog. One firefighter even jumped down below to meet with the dog eye-to-eye, and took the time for a photo shoot down below.
SRFR continued its rescue effort by shoveling away some dirt around her. Within 20 minutes after arrival, the dog was safely rescued.
“Thanks to the crew’s quick work, the dog was unharmed and back home relaxing with her family in no time. She was even able to pose for a few photos — happy as ever!
” SRFR stated.
