A stray dog was recently rescued by Delhi Fire Service officials in Delhi's Green Park after it was stuck in the drain for over three days. The canine's cries were heard by someone on the road which prompted them to alert the authorities.
A video of the rescue operation was shared on social media by Simanta V. Mahanta. As per the clip, the dog could not get out of the gutter after getting inside through a broken manhole. Then, to ensure the dog's safe recovery, the fire department officers expertly drilled into the road to save the terrified animal. As per the one-minute-long video, the officials also used several tools to cut the road and then manually cleared stones from the way. A few minutes later, they were able to hear the dog. The canine was then pulled out by a fire safety official and was provided with food and water.

In a similar incident, a scared puppy was rescued after being trapped in a sewer in the United States for eight hours. The incident took place in San Antonio and the puppy was one of the three that fell into an open valve while playing in the front yard of a home, as per a report in the New York Post. The San Antonio Fire Department pulled two puppies to safety, however, they were unable to catch the third one, who had crawled deeper into the sewer line.
The extensive rescue operation began when the department called the San Antonio Water System for help. Using a tiny camera, the personnel found the dog inside the sewer and gently redirected it 200 feet to a sewage opening found across the street.
After nearly eight hours, the pooch, which was named Pipa by the responders, was pulled out and rescued.
