Watch fire crews rescue blind dog stuck in North Sacramento drainage pipe

Sacramento fire crews have rescued a dog that was stuck in a drainage pipe in North Sacramento.

The dog got stuck in a drainage pipe near the 100 block of Commerce Circle, the Sacramento Fire Department said in a tweet just before 8 a.m. Friday. Crews were able to free the animal just after 8:30 a.m.

The Fire Department said in a follow-up tweet that the dog is blind and had been missing for two days.

The rescue required a “technical rescue company” due to confined space, the tweet said.
