In Florida, a call about a dog in distress led firefighters to an unexpected animal rescue.
At a dock in Cape Coral, firefighters found that the creature stuck underneath was not a dog at all, but an exhausted coyote pup.
What happened?
The Cape Coral Fire Department (@capecoralfd) recounted the incident on social media. As UPI reported, Engine 9 and Rescue 9 were sent to the Britannia Lake canal after receiving a report about an animal, then believed to be a dog, in danger.
A resident in a kayak kept track of the animal and showed crews the dock where it had gone underneath. A video posted on Instagram shows firefighters entering the water and removing the animal from the confined space.
