Firefighters had spent three hours trying to get the dog out of a pipe witout result.

“Eventually, we hooked up an industrial-strength vacuum and sized it down to about one inch. We caught on to one of the dog’s legs and got it out. It was a miracle,” assistant fire chief Jim Scuffle was quoted as saying.
