Social media users are applauding a team of firefighters who rescued a visually impaired and deaf dog from a drainage pipe in St Augustine, Florida. The details were posted on the Facebook page of the St Johns County Fire Rescue. In pictures of the mission, the dog is seen stuck in the pipe and how the crew members put in their utmost efforts to bring it out unhurt.
According to the post, the rescue teams responded to a call from the dog's owner, who said that it was stuck in a drainage pipe. The caller said the pooch had slipped out of the house and gone missing. "Engine 14, Squad 4, and USAR 4 arrived and realized the dog was located in the center of the drainage pipe.
