Dog’s humiliating escape attempt ends in a Louisiana fire department rescue

Dogs are notorious for seeing fences as a challenge that must be met at any cost.

Embarrassing photos — which ended up on TV and social media — show the hound was in the process of cramming itself under the fence when it realized its rump was too big to squeeze through.

It took four men to pull off the rescue, including one with a drill and one kneeling to comfort the frightened dog.

Multiple photos shared by the department suggest the dog emerged from the predicament without injury, including one that showed a firefighter holding it in his arms like a toddler

Our Australian Shepard would do the same in a microsecond; given the chance. The base of the fence is now lined with landscape timbers staked to the ground.

"...was in the process of cramming itself under the fence when it realized its rump was too big to squeeze through..."

Aw, geez...how about some sympathy here? Who of us hasn't found himself in the same predicament?

All guys are dogs...in one form or another...:)

Here’s an idea I got from a fox pen in Georgia:

chain link fence buried flat under the main fence, just deep enough to hide it.............

[Still Thinking]

Damn! My fat azz is always getting me in trouble!

I had a German Shorthair that would bite through chain link fencing. I finally installed 9 gauge chain link and that stopped her.

I swear that dog would sit in the yard and watch me build a kennel for her and then once in side knew right where the weakest section was and would be out ion less than an hour. All she wanted was to be outside the kennel and lay in the yard. She did not roam, she just didn’t want to be in the pen

Nope.

I got most of it [including one pic] to load and then tried to let the page loose from NoScript and got the total rejection.

It took four firemen to do the work of a kid?

[Does so]

Worked for me...

[pas]

Had a dog that used to end up in my back yard playing with my dog. I thought it was either squeezing through or jumping. I finally saw him. He climbed paw over paw over the chain link fence.

My solution was to go to an Invisible Fence.

I had a little fox terrier/chihuahua mix that did that over a 5 foot chain link regularly. We ended up having to chain him (he’d chew rope or leather).

Determined little cuss he was.

It probably didn’t take 4 but they alwats respond as a unit ir team
And that was a team of 4

[TexasGator]

You. missed my point.

[lee martell]

That dog looks to be about nine or ten years old with those snowy eyebrows. I guess he still says “Don’t fence me in!”

[redshawk]

Alligators do it too.

I guess I did. It looked like you were disparaging thefirefighters since there were were 4 firefighters for a job you thought a kid could do.

Nope. Disparaging a culture that thinks they need the fire department to do this.
