Firefighters save truck driver’s dog from storm drain, then is reunited her with owner
By Mike-Ross
There are times where animals might get stuck in some pretty crazy places and may need the assistance of humans to get free.
That was the exact situation recently after firefighters saved a dog from a drain system — leading to a sweet reunion with her owner.
The incredible story was shared by Cobby County Fire & Emergency Services in Cobb County, Georgia. A dog named Trixie, who travels with her truck driver owner, chose to explore an unfamiliar area after the two stopped at a pit stop.
Sadly, she ended up falling 12 feet into a storm sewer system.
We can only imagine how terrified the owner must have been, seeing his beloved traveling companion trapped like that. But thankfully, help was soon on the way.
Crews from Cobb County Fire’s Engine 9C and Squad 7C arrived and began a rescue operation. They dropped an air monitoring device and set up a rope system, allowing them to lower a firefighter into the drain system.

Thankfully, the mission was a success, and the department say that poor Trixie was “happy to be rescued” and came right to the firefighter, and the two were then “hoisted out of the hole.”
“After a quick visit to the vet, we hear that Trixie is a little banged up, but she will be okay,” Cobby County Fire wrote.
A photo shows the moment Trixie reunited with her owner, who was no doubt very relieved to have her back in his arms, safe and sound:
