A scared, soaked pup was rescued after getting stuck in a San Antonio sewer line for more than eight hours this week.
The puppy was one of three that plummeted into an open cleanout valve while playing in the front yard of a home on the city’s south side on Wednesday, KSAT reported.
San Antonio Fire Department rescuers quickly pulled two of the puppies to safety, but were unable to reach the third, which crawled deeper into the sewer line.
The department called San Antonio Water System [SAWS] for help, prompting the lengthy rescue mission.
SAWS officials located the puppy inside the culvert with a small camera, which they used to slowly push her 200 feet into a culvert that opened onto the street.

After about eight hours, they finally removed the dog, which rescuers nicknamed Pipa.
San Antonio Animal Care Services took Pipa to a local veterinarian for a checkup before she was returned to her owners.
Incidents of dogs falling into private sewer lines are rare, SAWS officials told KSAT, but they urged residents to make sure their cleanout valves are properly covered.
