ANNAVILLE, Texas — Annaville Firefighters said they could hear tiny cries coming from beneath the rubble of a house fire they were attempting to extinguish. After some clearing some of the rubble, they made a surprising discovery. A dog and her pups were trapped underground.
With hot spots and flames sparking up nearby the firefighters quickly got to work to rescue all of them -- pulling them out one by one.
Marcus Collins, one of firefighters involved in the rescue declared, “I've never in my career had a call like that so it was one of the most genuinely gratifying feels I’ve felt on call and it's ironic because I’m not a big dog person, but helping those dogs out and then bringing them back to the family and if I’m just being frank one of the best feelings I’ve felt on the job"
Miraculously none of those pups were hurt and we were told one firefighter even took it upon themselves to give a puppy a forever home.
Amazing Mutts Puppy Rescue, Inc has 10 of the puppies in temporary foster homes and is moving them up to Elmendorf, Texas to their permanent foster for the next month.
