Lufkin First Responders Rescue German Shepherd Stuck Under Truck
It's stories like this that make you proud to be from Deep East Texas. You have probably heard the stereotypical story of firemen rescuing cats from trees. Well, here's one for the ages as a Sunday morning call to the City of Lufkin Police Dispatch turned into a story that reflects the wonderful and caring hearts of our area first responders.
According to a police media release, at 10:25 a.m., the call came in concerning a dog that had somehow gotten stuck under his owner’s truck in the 1400 block of Sue Drive. The dog – a 2-year-old German Shepherd named Booger – apparently got scared during overnight storms and climbed into the undercarriage. Booger’s owner Roger Grimes said he realized what had happened when he saw his dog’s tail sticking out from under the pickup.
