Firefighters responded to a Long Island home in New York to rescue a dog. The dog fell into a cesspool and became stranded 12ft under the ground.
The rescuers ended up using a rescue tripod and an animal snare to lasso Duke and lift him to safety.
"The dog was wet, dirty and afraid but uninjured and was escorted with family members to a local veterinarian for further evaluation," the Melville Volunteer Fire Department said in a Facebook post.
