Incredible moment dog rescued from water pipe after being stuck for nearly a day

James initially tried to crawl up the pipe himself but found it too narrow so the pair set about lifting manhole covers to try and find Olive.

The dog was discovered wet and muddy but otherwise fit and healthy two hours later.

James said: “We’ve both got dogs ourselves so it was such an emotional moment to get her out.

“I had a lump in my throat. It was a fantastic feeling as we’d both worked really hard. We also had to be 100 per cent professional.

“If we’d shown fear or anxiety, that would’ve made the situation a lot worse for the owner.

“Olive was bouncing around with excitement when she was finally free, it made our day.”
