Clarksville Fire Rescue came upon the scene and stepped in to help. Neblett said firefighters blocked the roadway, then tended to the dog and helped save her from fatal injury. “I don’t even think anyone called the Clarksville Fire Department,” Neblett said. “But they didn’t hesitate to help us.”

The 900 block of Tiny Town Road is a dangerous spot.”
