Firefighters have truly seen it all, from rescuing scared kittens from trees to resuscitating tiny guinea pigs, but even this firehouse thought they were being pranked when they received a call for an emergency rescue.
For firemen, getting a call to rescue a kitten stuck in a tree isn’t all that unusual, however, getting a call to rescue a 120-pound Great Dane stuck 20 feet up a tree is. “Dispatch was like, wait a minute, you have a what in a tree?” owner Wes McGuirk said.
When Wes first got home, he couldn’t find his very large Great Dane named Kora anywhere, but while searching for her he heard a strange whimpering noise from a tree and when he looked up, he spotted Kora nearly 20 feet up the tree. “I was like, how on earth did you get up there?” Wes said. “We grabbed the ladder. I thought I could climb up there, but I could only get to the center and was like, there’s no way I’m passing that, so we called the fire department.”
The Plattsmouth Volunteer Fire Department still couldn’t believe what they were hearing but were stunned when they saw the terrified Great Dane. “We rolled in and we all looked out the driver’s side window and went yeah, there’s a dog up that tree and it’s a big one,” said Jon Hardy of the Plattsmouth Fire Department.
Kora, who was now shivering and very anxious, refused to move from her spot, so finally the firemen managed to get a harness around her and were able to lift her from her spot and catch her with a tarp. “It’s one of those that we’ll talk about down here for a long time,” Hardy said.
