Technical rescue crews from Los Angeles County Fire Department worked diligently to rescue a German Shepard trapped in a hole.
“It ended up being a septic tank. It’s approximately 15 to 20 feet deep," Capt. Abe Serrano told KIRO, adding that it hadn't been used in many years.
“They have to take all safety precautions because they’re going into a confined space. They try to do everything expeditiously but they also have to take all safety precautions.”
As soon as a technician in the hole offered Maya, 15, a treat, she accepted happily.
The family told firefighters another dog stood near the hole and barked to alert them to the incident.
