The day ended happily after a frightened family from Itajai, on the north coast of South Carolina. The family dog, still a puppy, fell into a manhole and had to be rescued. The municipal environmental guard went to the scene and was able to ensure the safe return of the pet home.

The municipal environmental protection was called upon to respond to the incident in the Espineiros area of ​​Itajaí.

Initially, it was not possible to visualize the animal. With the help of a mirror and a flashlight, the guards saw that the dog was there, but it did not move or react in any way.

They used large pliers (rebar cutters) to open the hatch and pull the animal out. However, after removing the manhole cover, the dog got scared and ran into the side hole.

At the same time, the animal went out of sight of the guards, which made it difficult to rescue. With the help of the fist, they managed to pull him out of the hole, completing the rescue.

The animal was handed over to the tutor, who was very pleased with the actions of the guards.
