Seymour Fire Department
Nicky reunited with her owner.
SEYMOUR – Firefighters rescued a dog that had run into a culvert beneath the train tracks in Seymour on Wednesday (Jan. 8).
The dog, a one-year-old shih tzu named Nicky, was reunited with its owner after an hourlong rescue effort off of the 200 block of South Main Street.
According to Seymour Fire Marshal Timm Willis, he was driving along Main Street at around 3:25 p.m. when the vehicle in front of him stopped for a lost dog.
“A passerby stopped for a dog in the road running back and forth between traffic. I happened to actually be behind that vehicle and stopped to assist,” Willis said. “While I was trying to direct traffic, the dog ran down a cliff approximately 150 feet, on an 80-degree angle.”
