MOUNT PLEASANT, Texas (KETK) – Mount Pleasant firefighters saved a lost puppy on Wednesday morning.

Crews from Station 1 answered the call and, as they said, “put their trench rescue skills to work.”

Photos from the scene show a firefighter wedged under a porch in efforts to save the 1-week-old victim. The puppy, which looks to be no bigger than the fireman’s palm that rescued her, was successfully reunited with its mother.
