Lake Macquarie firefighters staged the rescue of a wayward puppy that had fallen into a drain just after midday Friday.
A crew from the NSW Fire Brigade were called to Northcote Avenue at Swansea Heights around 1pm where they found a Cavoodle puppy had fallen around 1.5 metres into a narrow pipe and was unable to climb out.
Firefighters deployed a catch device to carefully free the pup and return it to safety and into the hands of its delighted owner.
The mission was completed in less than half an hour, a spokesperson for the firefighters said in a statement Friday afternoon.
