Missouri firefighters dig tunnel to rescue dog
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Mo — Late Saturday night, firefighters had to get creative to save a dog that had gotten himself into deep trouble. The Eastern Douglas County Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched just before 11 p.m. Saturday to find a dog stuck between two rocks. Crews arrived to find a small dachshund named 'Fedor' that had gotten itself stuck, according to the department. The hole was only big enough for the dog to fit into, and was stuck behind a large rock. To get to him firefighters had to dig a tunnel underneath the rock about 15-feet deep to free the pooch. After about 4 hours of digging and strategizing, Fedor was pulled out and reunited with his owner. No humans or dogs were injured during the rescue. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
