Security companies come to basset hounds’ aid
Through teamwork, three basset hounds in precarious positions were safely returned home.
What are the odds that in two days Fidelity ADT and Fox Security would be called upon to rescue not one, but three basset hounds in Brackendowns?
On February 25, security companies responded to the hounds’ need and all three were safely returned to their rightful homes.
The first incident occurred when Fin, the basset, got himself stuck in his owner’s gate.
Linda Goodenough, community development manager for Fidelity ADT, said she received a call from Fox Security saying one of her client’s basset hounds was stuck in the gate.
“It appears the inquisitive basset tried to climb through the bars of the gate, only to find he was a little bit fatter than he thought and there he was stuck, not being able to move forward or reverse back,” said Goodenough.
“The response from caring neighbours was fantastic. They all rallied around, making sure Fin had water and was as comfortable as one can be, lodged between two poles.”
Unsure on how to rescue the trapped dog she called her husband who runs a walling company.
The companies vans came with equipment and ladders, and with a little bit of tugging and pushing he slipped through and was home safe.
“As luck would have it, no sooner was Fin rescued, the team had to rescue another two bassets who had managed to get out of their gate,” said Goodenough.
“Once again, Fox and Fidelity ADT worked together to return the canine adventurers to their rightful home.”
The final episode in the basset hound tale came when the intrepid Fin once again managed to get himself lodged in the gate.
This time, 4TH Dimension rescued him and Goodenough took him home for the afternoon.
The relieved homeowner collected him that evening.
