LAMPE, Mo. -
Rescue crews are dispatched to different scenes each and every day, but a 911 call placed Saturday evening in Lampe is not an everyday occurrence.
Eric Nielsen with Southern Stone County Fire says crews were called out to a property off H Highway, where a dog was reportedly trapped beneath a concrete slab. When firefighters arrived, Nielsen says, they discovered the miniature Yorkie in a groundhog den.
Nielsen states his crew freed the pup, Thor, in just over 30 minutes. Thor was returned to his owners without injury shortly after.
Way to go, everyone!
