Posted 05-11-2005 On May 5th at 18:54 the Fire Department received a call for a dog stuck in a drainage culvert. Cameo a five year old German Shepherd "Guide Dog", always concerned for traffic decided to seek an alternative route across Tripoli Road. Cameo was surprised when traffic squeezed to halt. To make matters worse Cameo's transmission would not shift into reverse! There she was stuck in the culvert twenty feet to go and a little upset. We weren't quite sure if she was upset because of her predicament, or that she was now unemployed. Heavy equipment was called in to remove two sections of the cement culvert. Municipal Services Director, Bill Cheney, surgically removed a pile of debris and granite boulders to gain access without disturbing Cameo's air supply. As darkness fell, Cameo emerged quite happy, and unharmed. Assisting Cameo on this rescue were department members; Andy Vermeersch, John Monteiro, Lt. Jim Gray, Nancy Gray, Leslie Rosewarne, Deputy Chief Tim Rosewarne, Lee Bruno, Lt. Jeff Dropkin and Bill Cheney.Click Here to see the pictures of the event.Story by Lt. Jeff Dropkin
