Shakespeare firefighters had a unique call earlier this week.
They were called by a frantic dog owner, after her dog wandered off the trail and ended up stuck in the middle of a camouflaged swampy area.
Firefighters used a series of ladders and backboards to reach the worn-out pup, and eventually pull him to safety.
Firefighters said they ended up with some muddy clothes and water-logged rubber boots, but they’re pleased the story had a happy ending and the dog was rescued without injury.
