A dog that had been stuck in a drainage system in Gonzales, Louisiana for about a week was finally rescued Wednesday morning.

There were four different attempts to get the dog out over the weekend but every time rescuers got close, the dog moved further into the drainage system.

It’s believed that the dog is a stray and was not really trapped. Rescuers said that there ways for the dog to get out on his own, likely, the same way he got in

Neighbors said they’re not sure how the dog got down there but they first noticed the dog about a week ago and despite their best efforts, they just could not seem to get to it. They were seriously worried about the animal’s health and threw the dog bread to feed him.
