Members of the technical rescue team were called to the scene around 8:30 p.m. They used specialized equipment and techniques to perform a confined space entry and rescue Pebbles. The fire department said the rescuer had to crawl approximately 100 feet into the culvert to reach her.

When a dog becomes trapped in a culvert, it can be dangerous. They might panic and exhibit erratic behavior that can lead to injuries like sprains, fractures or cuts. Dependi
