Firefighters rescue Great Dane stranded 20 feet up in a tree
Published in Cats & Dogs News
LOUISVILLE, Neb. (UPI) -- Firefighters and sheriff's deputies in Nebraska were called to rescue a 120-pound Great Dane that somehow stranded herself on a tree branch 20 feet above the ground.
The Plattsmouth Volunteer Fire Department, which was covering the Louisville district Saturday night during the Louisville Volunteer Fire Department's banquet, said crews responded along with Cass County sheriff's deputies on a report of a dog stranded 20 feet up in a tree.
"While we were responding, we were admittedly somewhat skeptical. Upon arrival, sure enough, there she was. A 120 pound Great Dane about 20 feet up in the tree," the department said in a Facebook post.
The dog's owner, Wes McGuirk, said the Great Dane, Kora, was in the tree when he got home from going out to dinner. He said the dog must have chased a squirrel or other small animal up the tree and ended up stranded.
Firefighters attached a harness to Kora and were able to safely lower her to the ground.
"This is one of those calls that had a great outcome and will not soon be forgotten," Plattsmouth Volunteer Fire Department's post read.
