Thanks to the actions of the Cary Animal Services and assistance from the Cary Fire Department who teamed up to rescue a male dog named Duffy who ran away from his home and fell into a storm drain on Friday February 28 to rescue the 16 year old dog who is blind and deaf. The firefighters used their special firefighting equipment to have a firefighter enter the storm drain and rescue Duffy and reunite him with his owner who is appreciative of their efforts to rescue their pet safely.

Poor Duffy. He would certainly need help if he is blind and deaf.

I don’t understand how a blind and deaf dog is not watched like a hawk to prevent this from happening. Maybe I’m being too judgmental.

That is a good question since when a dog wants to go outside, they will run out of a home quickly.

That is quite an adventure for such an old dog, and it was good it was rescued promptly safely, before rain waters might have washed it away.
