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.

Support Our Cause

Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for Pennsylvanians and our future.

Since day one, our goal here at The Keystone has always been to empower people across the commonwealth with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Pennsylvania families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
