Firefighters Come To The Rescue After Poor Pup Gets Stuck In Ceiling Duct 😢

The cat is not the only one that can be killed by curiosity.

Dogs find themselves in peril due to their inquisitive nature too.


Firefighters came to the rescue of a doggo in need when they retrieved a poor pooch from a ceiling duct.

The crew from Fairfax County in Virginia were called to a home in West Springfield where a dog had become stuck in the HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) system.

The crew later shared video of the experience on their Facebook page with a very punny caption.

They wrote:

“The crew from Engine 427, West Springfield, responded to a ruff and far-fetched rescue last night. A small dog was trapped in an HVAC duct in a home."
“Crews took a brief paws to shed some light on dogs location and work out strategy. Firefighter Mark Williams proceeded to cut a hole in the basement ceiling and retrieve the dog."
“A happy and pawsitive outcome fur all! #fcfrd"

Watch the saga of the playful pup's misadventure here.

People Share Their Most Embarrassing Small Town Stories

I lived most of my life in a very small town in Northern Maine. There were about 200 kids in my high school and there were 56 kids in my graduating class—we were tied with the class of 1961 for the largest class ever.

When the primary employer in town—Pinkham Lumber Mill—shut down, the town got even smaller. Now the senior class is considered large if it reaches double digits.

Fox News’s chief national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin shared concerning insight on the "classified" military strategy information that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth shared in a Signal group chat with Republican President Donald Trump’s high level officials, and inadvertently, with The Atlantic editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg.

Woman Sparks Debate After Revealing Red Flag That Shows A Husband 'Doesn't Care' About His Wife

When we love someone enough to commit to a long-term relationship or marriage with them, we sometimes fall into a trap of wearing rose-colored glasses, now often referred to as "girlfriend goggles" or "boyfriend goggles," and ignoring the signs that the relationship might not be as perfect as we'd like to imagine it is.

This is especially true for people who ignore the blatant red flags in their relationships, like many women who have confided on social media that they don't think their husbands even like them.
