Covington, Ky. Firefighters Pull Dog from Storm Drain

Aug. 7, 2006
The dog had to be tranquilized so it would calm down.

Some very thankful owners got their collie back Sunday night after rescuers pulled the frightened dog out of a drainpipe.

Logan got stuck in the 17-inch pipe earlier in the day, so his owners called the fire department for help.

One of the rescuers rolled down the pipe head-first on a skate board to get to the dog, which had to be tranquilized so that he would calm down.

Logan was finally pulled from the drainpipe shortly before 7 p.m.

His owners had rescued him from a shelter, where he was going to be euthanized.
