TACOMA, Wash. — The Tacoma Police Department rescued a dog from a precarious place at Chinese Reconciliation Park.
It happened last week.
The department says the Bernese Mountain Dog wandered from its yard, over to the park, and somehow ended up in some wet rocks and couldn’t get out.
“I barked for help (politely, of course), and before I knew it, these amazing humans in uniforms showed up,” the department jokingly narrated for the dog in a social media post.
Police say someone walking nearby heard barking. When they realized what happened, they called police.
Officers first tried using a leash to coerce the dog out of the rocks, but it was no use. As a second option, they carefully hoisted the pup onto a tarp with handles and carried it to safety.
The department took the dog to the humane society, where it was reunited with its humans again.
