Special operations technicians put their skills to the test Wednesday night when a four-legged patient needed them the most.

Duke, a black lab mix, fell into the tank Wednesday night in Melville, CBS New York reported.

He was about 12 feet down, partially in the water and clinging to a ladder.

After the rescue, he was happy to be on solid ground. There was no word if he suffered any injuries.
