Buzzy’s Rescue: A Happy Tale
A local doggy had a dangerously close call with a tight fitting pipe last week, but he made it out with the help of his family and neighbours. Vic and Donna Calvert’s small Jack Russell Terrier, Buzzy wandered off and was nowhere to be found. The family searched high and low for Buzzy on the Calvert’s property on VLA Road before giving up the search. Buzzy is 10 years old and is on medication for congestive heart failure, so the family assumed he had wandered off and sadly, passed away alone. The next day, Vic & Donna’s daughter, Candy Retson was out doing morning chores when she heard a faint whimper. She followed the muffled barking to a narrow drainage piped, that contained
Buzzy! He had been trapped overnight in the pipe. “Being a typical terrier, he loves to chase moles and mice but this time he ran into a drainage pipe and got totally stuck,” said Donna. The Calverts phoned Brian and Steve from Springhill Excavating who came straight over and began the rescue process right away. They uncovered the pipe and used a special sewer camera to measure how far Buzz was into the pipe so he could figure out where to cut it without hurting the dog. After about half an hour of work, Buzzy was free from the pipe. “We had quite a party when we got him out safely,” said Vic. The Calverts family wanted to thank Springhill Excavating for taking time from their busy schedule to help Buzzy!
