Firefighters rescue 2 German shepherds from drainage canal in Harvey

HARVEY, La. (WVUE) - Harvey Volunteer Fire Company Two rescued two German shepherds that were stuck in a drainage canal in Harvey. Firefighters got the call around 4 p.m. Sunday afternoon (Nov. 8).

Two firefighters lowered ladders 12 feet to reach the dogs. They calmed the dogs enough to carry both up the ladders to safety.

The deputy fire chief told Fox 8 that both dogs were brought to the local shelter and their owner has been located.

Firefighters do not know how the dogs got into the canal, but it was too deep for them to get out.

The lack of rain helped with the rescue.
