A dog is safe after falling into a manhole in Moose Jaw, thanks to a careful rescue by local firefighters. Fire Chief Rod Montgomery said crews were called Sunday at about 5:21 p.m. to the old Wild Animal Park area. Inside an abandoned shed, a dog named Jesse had fallen about 10 feet into a manhole. “The crew was able to get down there and pull the dog out. So, it was a good outcome,” Montgomery said. Firefighters used proper safety equipment before going down to reach the dog. “They took their time, set up the proper lanyards and ropes and went down and got the dog,” he said. Montgomery said the dog appeared to be in good condition after the rescue. “He seemed to be in good spirits after getting out of that manhole,” he said. He added calls like this matter to crews, even when they involve animals. “It’s pretty satisfying for them when they can help out a pet like that. It’s a good feeling for sure,” Montgomery said. Jesse’s rescue is one of many animal calls crews have handled over the years, with this one ending on a positive note.
