Two newborn puppies were rescued from a sewer pipe by Temple Fire and Rescue on Friday.
According to Temple Fire and Rescue, a family at the 800 block of North 6th street returned home to find that their dog delivered a litter of Husky puppies in the backyard. One of them was inside a 4-inch sewer clean-out pipe.
Firefighters used hand tools to dig around the pipe and a reciprocating saw to remove a section of the pipe. Once they got access, a firefighter put his arm in the pipe and safely retrieved the puppy. They then determined that there was another puppy stuck in the pipe and continued efforts until the second puppy was removed safely.
Both puppies were cleaned and reunited with their mother. Firefighters were on the scene for approximately 90 minutes.
