VIDEO: It was Mesa firefighters to the rescue Thursday, after a senior dog with some health problems found himself stuck in a pool. A Mesa fire captain and his crew got the call that Saber, an 11-year-old Lab, had gotten stuck in his owner's swimming pool.
Saber has nerve damage to his legs, so wasn't able to climb out of the water on his own.
He's a heavy old fellow, so his owner wasn't able to lift him out without risking injuring herself.
So the firefighters stepped in, hoisting the big guy to dry land. After a good toweling off (and, we bet, a few treats!) Saber was good as new.
