A scared, wet puppy was rescued after being stuck in a San Antonio sewer for more than eight hours this week.
The puppy was one of three that fell into an open purge valve while playing in the front yard of a home on the city’s South Side on Wednesday, KSAT reported.
Two of the puppies were quickly pulled to safety by firefighters from the San Antonio Fire Department, but they were unable to reach the third, which crawled deeper into the sewer line.
The department named the San Antonio Water System [SAWS] to get help, triggering a long rescue mission.
SAWS officers found the puppy in the culvert with a small camera, which they used to gently push him 200 feet back to a culvert in the street.

After about eight hours, the dog, nicknamed Pipa by the responders, was finally pulled out.
San Antonio Animal Care Services took Pipa to a local vet for a checkup before she was returned to her owner.
Incidents of dogs falling into private sewer lines are rare, SAWS officials told KSAT, but urged residents to make sure their clean valves are properly protected.
