Puppy safe after trip down the toilet!

It is a dramatic story of survival. A one-week-old puppy was accidentally flushed down a toilet in London and was trapped in a drain for 4 hours. A 4 year old was washing the dog when the animal went down the drain and got trapped in a waste pipe. The dog was located using special camera equipment about 20 mtrs from the house. Rescuers nudged the puppy towards a manhole cover and plucked it to safety.

Children love dogs but need to be supervised - especially around young puppies. Thankfully this time the story had a happy ending!
