Thanks to the teamwork of the firefighters from Chesapeake Fire Department, Norfolk Fire And Rescue Department, Hickory Towing, Chesapeake Anima Service and Doctor John Sangenario of Dominion Equine, they were able to get a female horse named Patches who fled from the home of the owner on Sunday evening who had bad luck in trapped in a ditch in south Chesapeake on Monday morning. The good news is that by the time that the teamwork of the firefighters as well as the animal service officials were able to get Patches out of danger, Patches was able to stay on her feet one hour after she was rescued. Patches will be needing some medical attention due to her time being stuck in the ditch since when she ran away from home, due to the darkness she most likely fell into a ditch which caused her owner to call for help to the authorities when she realized her horse was not at home. These kinds of good news stories show that teamwork in rescuing a horse that could have passed away due to starvation and thirst was avoided.
