“As far as I can remember, this is the first rescue of an animal from the wilderness,” said Miami Twp. Chief Colin Altman. “Typically it’s people and we’ve had a couple of rescues of dogs from ice but this is the first time I can remember an injured animal needing our help to be brought out of the woods.”
Fire-rescue crews worked with Ohio Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement to reach the animal and prep her for transport.
Miami Township Fire-Rescue posted a picture of a firefighter carrying the dog out of the park.
The rescuers took the dog to her owners, who took her to a veterinarian.
