dog rescue

It was close to noon on February 15, 2015, when Fort Myers, Fla. firefighters arrived on 1415 Dean St. apartment complex to help put out a fire. Rescuers were told no persons were trapped in the fire, but little did the heroes know that a long-haired dachshund named Bailey was fighting for his life inside the smoke-filled residence.

While firefighters fought the flames the tenants informed the rescue unit there was a pet was trapped in the flames.

For Allentown, New Jersey resident, Dina Alborano, February 4, 2015, and the subsequent days were just a nightmare. Alborano’s six-year old German Shepherd, named River, got out of her backyard and got lost in the woods. He was found clinging to life and frozen to the ground 5.5 miles away from home.

Audi, a two-year-old Labrador from Boise, Idaho, fell 30 feet down Dedication Point between Kuna and Swan Falls Dam on January 26, 2015, while she was out on a walk with her owner and needed the help of skilled rescue climbers to be hoisted out to safety. Thankfully, the Kuna Fire Department responded to the emergency call and helped Audi get back up on safe ground.

On February 15, 2015, Hero, a two-year-old Australian cattle dog from Southwest Harbor, Maine, needed the local fire department to come to his rescue and pull him out of freezing waters after the curious dog fell through thin ice during his last potty break of the day.

The cattle dog is used to venturing outside on his own to do his business, but on this night, instead of coming back home within 15 minutes as he usually does, Hero was nowhere to be found. The dog’s owner, Jeremy Doe, went outside to look for his pet, he followed dog tracks that led him to the harbor.

On February 9, 2015, a three to six-month-old terrier puppy from Tucson, Ariz., was hit by car and left for dead on the side of Drexel Road, but thanks to an animal lover who stopped and helped the injured puppy, the dog is on her road to recovery.

The young dog, now called Charity, was left with fractured hind legs, pelvis and femur. Even though she was unable to walk or stand when found, veterinarians are hopeful the puppy will be able to walk again because the pet never lost her ability to wiggle her tail.

A 60-year-old man from  Sao Paulo, Brazil, is  praising firefighters as heroes. This after the men rescued the man’s five-month-old puppy from an underground pipe. The dog fell through an uncovered drain and became stuck.

On January 22, 2015, the Brazilian pet owner called authorities after discovering his small dog had gone missing and hearing dog cries from the uncovered drain.

Last week, officer Allen Speed and Paul Garcia were traveling down I-30 in Forth Worth, Texas, when they spotted a small terrier running down the highway. The female dog was scared and disoriented, and thanks to the officers, the pet, now named Beach, was rescued.
