‘Christmas miracle’: Penticton, B.C. dog rescued after being trapped under boulder
That’s when she noticed he was wedged underneath a big rock.
The family tried moving and lifting the boulder to get Firefox out, but there wasn’t enough room for the dog to escape. That’s when the family called in the authorities.“Firefighters come in because we needed weight for people to actually get the rock and the boulder out,” Berrigan said. “So that he would come out successfully because we thought the boulder would fall back in on top of him.”Firefox suddenly scooted out from under the rubble and was reunited with his family and best buddy Chrome. Berrigan says the find makes this holiday season even more special.
“It is my Christmas miracle, without getting too emotional. I don’t think anybody needs to go through what we went through, but I cannot thank anybody , all the community for what they did here.” Although it’s believed Firefox was trapped under the rock for over 16 hours, he came out without a scratch.
