Heartwarming Moment: Dog Saved by Calif. Firefighters After Hours of Struggle!

Calif. Firefighters Save Dog Stuck Inside of a Wall for Hours: She 'Was Pretty Happy to See' Us

The Orange County Fire Authority broke a hole in the wall to rescue the 2-year-old family pet. A group of California firefighters spent Mother's Day saving a dog trapped in the walls of its home.

The dog's family called for professional help after their pet, named Faye, got stuck in a wall at their Garden Grove, California home for over two hours. Faye had crawled into the wall through a plumbing access door.

A video shared by the Orange County Fire Authority on Facebook showed the happy moment firefighters freed Faye from the wall. In the video, rescuers carefully used a sledgehammer to break a hole in the wall. Once the hole was big enough, Faye poked her head out,  and firefighters started trying to coax her out.

During the rescue, a firefighter asked Faye, "You okay?"

At first, Faye was hesitant to come out, but with some encouragement and space, she eventually crawled out of the wall. "Faye is having a better day today thanks to the firefighters who rescued her yesterday. After crawling into the wall through a small plumbing access door in her Garden Grove home, getting stuck under the bathtub for two hours, and not responding to her family coaxing her out, this pup was pretty happy to see the firefighters' friendly faces and reunite with loved ones," the fire department's Facebook post said about the rescue.

The post also gave an update on Faye's condition.

"And, according to the family, Faye is probably already planning her next bit of mischief. Who knows…maybe we'll see her again soon!" the Orange County Fire Authority added.

The dog's rescuers and Faye's family appeared on KCAL-TV on May 14 to talk about the incident.

One of Faye's owners, Julian Nguyen, recalled trying to coax the dog out of the walls before calling the fire department. "I was getting my hand, kneeling down, and trying to reach my arm all the way through to pull her back. But she was way too far inside already," the pet parent said.

Firefighter Hector Jimenez revealed that they used a thermal imaging camera to help locate the dog. Faye's other owner, Dat Nguyen, praised the fire department and said the agency went "beyond [their] duties."
