When little Ripley the adorable Yorkie sneaked out of his human's home, his family was horrified to discover him missing. Usually Ripley was a very good boy who liked to play, but for whatever reason that day he just decided to go and run off like a little bad guy!
Maybe he smelled a squirrel and decided to give chase, or maybe he just felt like going for a walk outside. Whatever the reason one thing was for certain: His poor owners were absolutely heartbroken as the hours passed without his fluffy little face in their lives.
They began to fear that Ripley would be gone forever, though they hadn't given up, the thought of life without their dog was ever-present in the back of their minds.
But that's where the local fire department comes into the story. Believe it or not, Ripley was found in a drainage pipe at the very bottom of a storm drain squeaking and crying for his parents.
Just when things seemed hopeless, fireman Jacob Haley jumped into the deep pit, laid down on the ground, and stretched out to save this darling little dog!
Jacob really proved how amazing he is in this spectacular video. He had no idea what was inside that deep and dark pit, but he didn't care in the least. When he found out there was a dog in need of rescuing, he was the first to volunteer!
