A precocious husky found himself in need of help after getting stuck in a Kentucky storm drain, according to reports and adorable pictures from the scene.
Lexington-Fayette Animal Care and Control officers began receiving calls reporting the husky’s situation Sunday morning, and when they arrived they found the dog, Sebastian, with his snout poking out of the narrow drain and his piercing pale eyes staring at them.
“It’s pretty remarkable, because he has these striking blue eyes, when you see his face in the storm drain, which I think would surprise anyone who walked by,” Officer Jai Hamilton told 12News.
Hamilton and another officer spent about 30 minutes trying to convince the dog to come out, who they said was very “loud” but well-behaved throughout the entire ordeal.

“He was very talkative,” Hamilton said. “He wanted help, but he was a little scared and talked a lot all the time, so it was very difficult to interpret his behavior.”
“But he was a very nice boy,” he added.
It’s unclear exactly how Sebastian got into that situation, but animal control officers speculated that he may have chased an animal down the drain and discovered that it couldn’t get out the way it came.

Finally, the rescue team lifted a manhole cover over the drain, then they dove into the sewer with Sebastian and were able to pull him out.
“It was a little difficult because he’s a very big dog and picking him up, we don’t know his behavior carrying him over the storm drain,” Hamilton said.
“But he was a really good kid and I think he was excited to get out.”
Sebastian was later reunited with his owner and is now safe at home.
He wasn’t the only pup who recently went spelunking in storm drains.
In early November, three puppies in San Antonio, Texas, had to be rescued after falling into an open cleanout valve.

Two of the pups were quickly brought to safety by the San Antonio Fire Department, but the third crawled into the sewer line, sparking an extensive eight-hour rescue mission.
The dog was located about 200 feet underground using a camera system that pushed him into a sewer opening where he was eventually rescued, soaked and shaken, but safe.
