WATCH: Dog rescued from storm water drain
The dog is believed to have been stuck in a storm water drain for four days.
A LOCAL patroller was commended for his bravery after he rescued a three-legged dog that was stuck in the drain.
Scott Fordyce, a Pine-Ridge Neighbourhood Watch patroller said he received a call on the emergency phone around 11.30am on Sunday, 6 November about a woman’s son who had heard a dog howling in the storm water drain in Millrock Road.
“I alerted the neighbourhood watch patrollers who responded immediately. When we got there, we called for the dog, but heard nothing. So, we opened the storm water drain lid and there was the poor pooch,” said Fordyce.
He jumped in and attached a made-shift harness to lift the German Shepherd out of the drain. It is believed there was a hole in the ground that the dog had fallen in on Wednesday, 2 November. The dogs was returned to its owners who live on Millrock Road.
The community commended Fordyce for his bravery as well as Brandon Paine, who assisted in the rescue.
