Lake Travis Fire Rescue turned hero for a four-legged local on a recent rescue mission. A 12-year-old dog named Lucy found herself in a tight spot after a post-vet walk, getting stuck in a culvert. Lucy, described as a Boxer/Rottweiler mix, was already suffering from bad hips and sore legs from a shot she received at the vet, according to CBS Austin.
The distressed pup needed immediate aid, and the team from Station 601 was up to the challenge. The crew, comprised of Lieutenant Dudik, Firefighter Barto, Firefighter Wieland, and Probationary Firefighter Greene, had to think on their feet, as per CBS Austin.
Lake Travis Fire Rescue shared details of the rescue in a social media post, expressing the success of the mission. The team's quick thinking and adaptability were crucial in the rescue of the senior dog. The owner's reaction to the successful rescue was one of overwhelming joy and deep gratitude, as reported by Lake Travis Fire Rescue's Facebook post.
