Dog rescued from Central Pa. storm drain after 6-hour ordeal
A dog in Boalsburg, Centre County was rescued from a storm drain on Wednesday after being trapped for more than six hours.
According to the Boalsburg Fire Company, the pup entered the storm drain via an outlet pipe near his back yard.
Firefighters tried in vain to get the dog out, and after almost six hours, they decided to cut the road to gain access to the pipe. After some coaxing from the fire chief, the dog walked out under his own power and was greeted by a group of very concerned people, including his owner.
“We are happy to report the dog was uninjured and seemed in good spirits as he ate a hot dog and some other snacks,” the Boalsburg Fire Company said in a Facebook post.
