The owners said they tried figuring out how to get the puppy out on their own before looking online and seeing that Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Drain Service could help.
"We tried to use a rope to try and see if we could grab him and that wasn't working. So we had to do an excavation, so that's when the guys came here with a backhoe and we dug down and got him out," said Roto-Rooter Plumbing Manager Frank Colon.
Dodo - who is only six weeks old - is not injured and is doing just fine.
