Dogs In Distress Saved By Harford First Responders

HARFORD COUNTY, MD — Two lucky dogs were rescued in recent weeks in Harford County. Both had gotten themselves stuck in precarious situations.

The Abingdon Fire Company reported that it saved a pooch from a sewer drain on Friday. According to firefighters, the dog had been chasing a cat while out for a walk when he fell down the drain into the sewer.

After the rescue, the fire company shared photos from the dog-owner reunion.

A month ago, the Harford County Sheriff's Office also came to the rescue of a pooch in distress. The dog was stuck in the mud in Jarrettsville until Animal Control Officer Marika Krejci helped the canine, named Tanner, get back on his feet.

A woman who identified herself as the owner said that she had been away when the incident occurred with her 12-year-old dog, who has bad hips. The dog got away from the dog-sitter while out for a walk, she said.

"I can’t believe there’s a video," she wrote on the Facebook post from the Harford County Sheriff's Office. "I’m so overwhelmed with thankfulness."
