TRACY, Calif. (WHDH) — Firefighters rescued a German Shepherd who climbed up a large tree in pursuit of a black cat on Saturday.
Sharon Thurston says she took her 2-year-old dog, Baby, off her leash for just a few minutes when she ran off.
She soon heard Baby barking and noticed that her dog had chased a cat up a tree and became stuck.
“I looked up and was like, ‘Oh my gosh, she’s going to fall,'” Thurston recalled.
She called the fire department, who used a ladder to reach Baby and remove her from the tree.
The cat made its way down on its own.
Thurston says the cat still antagonizes Baby every day.
