Firefighters rescue 16-year-old dog in Harrogate
Harrogate firefighters rescued a 16-year-old dog that had got stuck on a path yesterday.
A crew from Skipton Road were summoned to nearby Dene Park in Bilton at 9.43pm last night.
According to North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service's incident report, the dog was too frail to stand.
It said:
"Fire control received a call from a resident who was concerned for the safety of a 16-year-old dog who was unable to get up and was laid in the middle of the path.
"The caller stated the dog was very old and his owner was also an elderly gent.
"Other residents were unable to lift the dog and take him back home. A fire crew from Harrogate attended whilst still maintaining their availability and assisted by lifting and carrying the dog back home to his owner."
