Nanaimo firefighters were able to rescue a dog that could have drowned in a drain pipe if it hadn91裸聊视频檛 gotten help.

Nanaimo Fire Rescue crews were called to Labieux Road and Oriole Drive just before 10:30 a.m. on Friday, July 1, after a beagle had gotten into a 40-centimetre pipe.

91裸聊视频淚t was a horizontal sewer system that the dog had entered and because the dog couldn91裸聊视频檛 turn around, the dog kept going forward,91裸聊视频� said David Dales, Nanaimo Fire Rescue assistant chief. 91裸聊视频淭he dog was yelping and quite scared.91裸聊视频�

Firefighters started popping open manhole covers and could tell they were getting closer to the pooch. Eventually they found a manhole close enough that using a flashlight, they could see the dog.
