Golden Retriever trapped in a hole (Video)

Macy, an 11-year-old golden retriever, was found in Marilla Park by another dog, a chocolate labrador named Wrigley, who alerted his owner by barking. Footage shows Streator fire chief Fred McClellan climbing into the hole himself to get Macy out.

Firefighters had to lift the 11-year-old dog out as she was too stiff to climb the ladder they had lowered down to her. Afterwards the owner said: ‘I was at park with Macy. We were done with our walk and Macy never wants to leave. I was sitting in the car waiting for her and wasn’t watching her for a couple minutes, and I looked up and she was gone. The owner had seen a car go through park while he was sitting there that looked like his vehicle and thought maybe she had ran after the car and that someone took her, because there was not enough time for her to disappear. He looked up and down the creek and could not find Macy.

Shocked by her experience

After the rescue, Streator Animal Control shared a photo of a muddy Macy sitting in her owner’s car after being pulled from the sinkhole, writing, ‘Macy is HOME!!!’ Shocked by her experience, Macy looked pleased when her rescuers ended up pulling her out with a harness they wrapped around her chest.The department also ensured she was checked out by a veterinarian after her rescue, after being returned to owners Liz and Tom Price. Watch the video, the firefighters managed to save and extract the trapped dog.
