WATCH: Firefighters Rescue Dog That Climbed On Roof
Bridgeport firefighters have rescued the same dog twice this summer after the dog climbed onto the roof.
BRIDGEPORT, CT — Bridgeport firefighters rescued a dog from a Scofield Avenue roof recently. Officials told DoingItLocal.com that this is the second time this summer that the dog needed to be rescued.
Assistant Chief Richard Donofrio said the last time the dog was rescued it was a much hotter day and the dog burned its paws.
"We've heard of 'cat on a hot tin roof'... but this #canine resident on Scofield Ave has a thing for heights or being #rescued by #BFD ," fire officials said on Twitter.
