Dog Rescued After Being Trapped In Wall Of Montco Home

UPPER DUBLIN TOWNSHIP, PA — It wasn't your typical call for a police department, nor the type of rescue that emergency crews handle on a regular basis.

But the Upper Dublin Township Police Department received "a very unusual call" at 2:45 p.m. last Wednesday that a dog had fallen through the floor of an attic.

When police arrived, it had turned out that the dog had fallen through a section of the attic that had no flooring beneath it, thus trapping the dog inside a wall on the second floor of the home.

In a group effort, Police Officer Andy Bochanski, Officer Kevin Spotts, and Fire Marshal Tim Schuck were able to successfully free the dog named Tessa from the wall.

Tessa was not injured, police said.

And for the officers and the fire marshal who freed Tessa? They were promptly rewarded with plenty of dog kisses, police said.
