Danbury Firefighters Rescue Trapped Dog

DANBURY, CT — Firefighters came to the rescue of a dog trapped down a hole on last week.

Danbury Animal Control reported they had received a call on Thursday that pup Maya had fallen down a 7-foot hole between two walls. First responders found that she had actually fallen about three feet into a "very narrow space, 14 inches wide at best," and could not get out.

Members of the Danbury Fire Department were able to pull apart enough of the wall to free the large dog.

"While things became a little tense a couple of times while Maya was stuck and refused keep her muzzle on, she gladly shared several kisses with her heroes once she was freed," Danbury Animal Control shared on Facebook.
