Thanks to the teamwork of the Tulare County Sheriff's Office and the Tulare County Fire Personnel they were able to rescue three German Shepherds that were found in a canal that had steep walls surrounding the canals on Sunday. It is evident that employees with Brosamer & Wall had contacted the authorities when they saw the three dogs in the Fraint Kern Canal which is located in Central California to make sure that the dogs would not be swept away in the canal when the firefighters and deputies arrived to rescue the three dogs. Two dogs were rescued by the firefighters by using ropes to assist them get out of the canal while the third dog had to be carried by a firefighter to safety. The dogs who are in good health were taken by the authorities to the Tulare County Animal Control where hopefully they will be reunited with their owners or adopted by a loving family.

Again dogs and a canal, Hey, doggies get it together and avoid getting trapped, I am so glad they were rescued, It almost sounds like they were put there purposefully,

That is what I am thinking that someone placed the dogs into the canal on purpose.

Fire-fighters do a whole lot more than putting out fires.

A difficult rescue, and it looks like the dogs had to be temporally muzzled to allow a safe rescue to take place by the rescuers concerned.

@Deepizzaguy Yes, no telling what a big frightened dog might do. Better to be safe than sorry.

Most likely what happened that the dogs needed to be muzzled when they were carried out of the canal.

@innertalks That is true since messing with a scared dog is dangerous.
