Maumelle firefighters rescue dog out of storm drain
MAUMELLE, Ark. (KTHV)- The Maumelle Fire Department saved an elderly dog from a storm drain on Monday evening.
A 14-year-old Yorkie named Ripley suffers from vision and hearing loss in his old age, and that's likely what caused him to fall into a six-foot hole and get stuck in a 200-foot drainage pipe.
When his owners called for help, Maumelle firefighters responded. After wading through the water in the dark, it took them about four hours to finally pull Ripley out.
He is in good condition and back home with his family.
