Two tiny puppies were swept into a storm drain Wednesday outside Atlanta. But don’t worry, this tale has a happy ending.
Neighbors heard the cries, tongues started wagging and someone placed the 911 call that fetched firefighters from both Paulding and Cobb counties.
The little cuties were trapped in a 2-foot wide nearly 20 feet underground, the nearest manhole about 60 feet away in the neighborhood near Dallas. In about an hour, though, they met their new best friends.
“Although a little scared, they will be fine!!” the Paulding fire department yipped in a social media post after the rescue.
No word yet on efforts to find the wee survivors their, uh, furever homes.
