The fireworks on July 4, 2026 scared him so much that he ran without looking. In Kansas City, Kansas, a stray dog ended up falling 4.5 meters (15 feet) into an abandoned well, swimming among water contaminated with oil and sewage, with no one knowing he was there. 🎆
A neighbor heard his cries and called emergency services. Firefighter Towan Smith went down a ladder in a wetsuit and carried him out in his arms: 66 pounds of fear and exhaustion. Police spokesperson Nancy Chartrand did not hesitate to say that he was lucky to survive the fall.
Today they call him Brisket, because that is how they celebrated after the rescue. Bathed with dish soap to remove the oil, he is between 4 and 5 years old and has already won over social media thanks to Friends of KCK Animal Services, who are caring for him while he waits for a home that will never be afraid of anything. 🐶💛
