VIDEO: Fire crews rescue dog stuck in storm drain

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Not quite a cat in a tree, in this case it was a dog in a storm culvert that drew the attention of the Wilmington Fire Department. It has a very happy ending and the camera was rolling to see the rescue.

Around 6:30 Thursday night, a heavy rescue team with the WFD went to the area of Stratford Boulevard and Jennings Drive.

A dog had gotten into the storm drain underneath a driveway and got stuck.

Fire crews dug out enough debris and dirt from around the dog until he was able to free himself.

The owners of the dog were there as well.

Firefighters say the dog seemed to be ok and happy that he was out.
