Thanks to the teamwork of the South Metro Fire Department, Douglas County Animal Control and construction crews with the Fiore & Sons Inc who rescued a male dog named Carl who had escaped from his foster home on Sunday June 22 and Carl managed to get trapped inside a trench in Parker Colorado.
After the teamwork from the firefighters, construction workers and animal control officers were complete, Carl was taken to animal hospital to be treated for mild dehydration on Monday June 23.
Carl was taken to his foster home called Big Dogs Huge Paws on Tuesday. The good news is that Carl is healthy after he was rescued by the authorities.
How did Carl get loose from the foster home is not known.

Probably Carl saw a cat and he decided to escape from his foster home.

The dog likely was chasing a cat or dog when he got loose from the foster home.

I am sure that Carl will think twice about leaving his foster home again.

How long Carl has been trapped inside a trench?

That is a good question since the rescue team did not give out that information on how long Carl was inside of the trench.

These poor animals that get caught in places. Glad the firefighters and the rest of them were able to get the poor thing out.
