HANOVER, MASS. (WHDH) - Hanover firefighters worked together Tuesday to rescue a dog that became trapped under the rear deck of its home.
Fire crews were called to a home on Ledgewood Drive after homeowner, Kari McCafferty, noticed her dog was stuck under her backyard deck.
McCafferty was working from home when she noticed her 10-month-old golden retriever Bentley was missing.
“He is a tricky little dog,” McCafferty said. “I think he started digging a little hole, then went under and got stuck under a beam in a little hole. He just could not move.”
McCafferty struggled to get the pooch free, digging up the yard with a snow shovel before she finally called 911.
Members of the Hanover Fire Department’s Group 3 were able to open up an area and free the trapped pooch.
Once Bentley was free, McCafferty said he was quiet.
“I think he knew that he was really, really stuck in there.”
Now, the family says they cannot thank the firefighters who saved their pup enough.
“That is just how Hanover is. It is great, everyone is so supportive,” McCafferty said. “I was really appreciative that they did that for us.”
In a Facebook post, the Hanover Fire Department wrote, “Aside from needing a bath, the dog was unaffected!”
