“That’s very unusual for us, sometimes we get calls about ducklings in the spring. But this will be a first for me,” Jai Hamilton of Lexington Fayette Animal Care and Control told 12News.
The husky was rescued from the drain after an officer opened the drain cover and entered. The rescue operation took 30 minutes.
Hamilton added, “It was a little hard because he’s such a big dog, and picking him up, we don’t know his behaviour taking him above the storm drain. But he was a very good boy, and I think he was just excited to get out.”
The department even shared a rescue video on Facebook with the caption, “This morning, we received several calls regarding a husky that was trapped inside a sewer drain. The husky Sebastian had always wanted to meet the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but instead, he found himself face to face with a couple of animal control officers! The spunky Sebastian is now safe and sound at our facility and is eagerly waiting to be reunited with his owners! We love happy endings!”
