Hazlet Police Rescue Dog Trapped Under Shed

The officers chopped through the floor of the shed to rescue the dog Thursday morning.

Hazlet Township Police said they received a frantic call Thursday morning from a resident on North Parkview Terrace.

The resident said they let their dog out into their backyard, and the canine somehow got himself trapped under their shed. (You can see the dog’s tail sticking out from under the shed in the second photo.)

Hazlet police officers Jacqueline Struble, Anthony Forlenza and Robert Dickens responded and, when all other measures to get the dog out failed, the officers chopped through the floor of the shed to rescue the dog. All in a day’s work, folks!
