Around 0120 on April 3, 2023, Squad 17 responded to an investigation of a dog on a roof in the unit block of East Summit Avenue in Ashley. Squad 17 was dispatched to a small animal rescue and found a large German shepherd on a roof who was barking and looked scared. Animal Control and NCCPD were notified. In almost an hour, Animal Control got in contact with the ownerat work and they came and got him back in through a window. The dog apparently was able to squeeze through one side of a window airconditioning unit to get out. We respond to all types of calls!
