Joseph Egan who is the owner of The Brisbane Plumbers can not only be called a hero for rescuing a two day old puppy who was trapped inside a bathroom drain on Saturday night in Beenleigh Queensland. The strange story began when the cover popped off in the bathroom where the mom and two of her puppies fell down the bathroom drain. The owner of the dogs was able to save one of the pups by grabbing the tail while its relative went down the drain near the outlet asking for help. Joseph arrived at the scene of the incident about 40 minutes after he received the emergency call armed with a closed circuit television camera. Joseph used his amazing skills to cut the pipes without harming the puppy who was freed from the trap when Joseph managed to get the puppy out by shaking the pipe. It is nice to see that plumbers can play rescue roles of puppies as well as firemen can rescue cats from trees. For the record, the puppy is now being called Troopie.

@Deepizzaguy We should all do our part, so things don't escalate, but we are already at a pandemic situation worldwide. But much funding is given to find the antidote to covid-19, in an e-newsletter I got today from our Rep. Case so I'm relieved.

I get the punchline since his name comes from being a brave puppy.

I agree with you since the owners of the puppy would have been heartbroken had Troopie passed away.

I guess the owner was careless while she was in the bathroom with her dogs in the area.

It is a freak accident that might not make it for the puppy if the rescuer was not around.
