Four year-old Daniel Blair of Northolt, Middlesex, England, decided to give his one-week old puppy a bath after a muddy excursion in the garden. The problem is that Daniel washed the puppy in the toilet, and then flushed. The hapless pooch vanished down the pipe.
The boy’s mother, Allison Blair, 40, called the fire department. The fire department called in the expert, Will Craig, 22, of the plumbing company Dyno-Rod. Using a special camera, Mr. Craig located the tiny dog in the pipe, about 20 feet from the house. Mr. Craig was able to push the puppy to a spot in the pipe where a firefighter was able to pull him out.
The puppy survived the four-hour ordeal and has been named “Dyno” in honor of the company that came to the rescue. No doubt Dyno needed another bath….
