The reporting lives at WXII 12. Our summary is checked against it, and we link it on every story.
Kernersville Fire Rescue said an injured dog is back with its owner after being trapped in a manhole. On Friday, crews responded to the 5900 block of Crossview Drive. They checked the air inside the hole, set up a rescue system, and brought the dog out within 30 minutes of arriving. The department said the dog was then returned to its owner.
WXII reported the rescue from the fire department's account. The station did not name the dog or describe the injury beyond saying the animal was hurt. The useful fact is the timeline: a checked atmosphere, a rigged rescue, and a dog back with its owner inside half an hour.
