A Golden Retriever got stuck in a culvert pipe in New York recently, but a law enforcement officer knew exactly what to do.
State Trooper Jimmy Rasaphone crawled approximately 15 feet into the pipe to save the dog named Lilah, even though it meant getting fairly dirty, the Associated Press (AP) reported Wednesday.
He went into the hole carrying a lead and choker, according to the dog’s owner, Rudy Fuehrer, who dialed 911 for help Sunday.
The man added, “He was able somehow to manipulate his arms and get the choker around the dog’s head.”
It did not take long for the trooper, along with the canine, to crawl back out.
“Thank you Trooper Jimmy! Now, you and Lilah need to get a bath. #BackTheBlue,” one social media user replied.
“Kudos to you, Trooper Rasaphone, for being such a good citizen!” another person commented.
After the rescue, Fuehrer expressed his thanks to Rasaphone for being willing to approach his dog during such a tense moment, and also noted Lilah was recovering well.
