How do these animals get into such trouble I wonder. So many similar stories but good that they get rescued,

It is a good question how the dog fell into the storm drain.

Dogs must run free in that area. No broken bones? That's a long drop.

The dog did not suffer any broken bones from the fall which is a miracle,

That looks to be a large dog in the picture, which I imagine would be rather heavy, and awkward, to remove safely from a storm drain, at such a deepness.

That is true that the dog is huge.
