SOUTH ELGIN, Ill. (WAND) – Firefighters rescued a dog that escaped through a window onto a building’s roof.
Crews say the homeowners, who live in a duplex in the 1400 block of South Elgin’s Exeter Lane, weren’t home when the dog made its move. They say the animal broke through a window screen on the building’s second floor, then made its way over to the neighbor’s side of the roof.
Firefighters say the dog wasn’t able to get back to the window it came out of because the roof was steep. They safely managed to get it down using a ladder.
A firefighter took a photo with the dog after the rescue.
