4-year-old Sahri was outside one sunny afternoong playing with her new puppy Toshi. There was an exposed PVC pipe out near the front yard, and Toshi was unfortunate enough to fall into it. Animal Control was called first but there was nothing they could do, so the DeKalb County fire department was called to come to the scene. Firefighters were eventually able to reunite the two after a lengthy 8-hour rescue.
