Two dogs stuck in a drainage pipe in Bucks County were rescued over the weekend when workers dug a hole in the street and firefighters used a hose full of air to push them out.
The dogs, believed to be American huskies, were freed late Sunday afternoon after a 10-hour rescue effort. Buckingham Township road master Michael Taylor said the dogs emerged tired and a little dehydrated and were taken to a shelter.
The animals were discovered Saturday afternoon by two people walking their dogs, but officials were stymied in their efforts to coax the canines out.
Crews returned around 9 a.m. Sunday, and got the dogs out around 3:30 p.m.
It wasn't clear how long the dogs had been stuck in the pipe.
