An Okotoks, Alta., couple and their dogs were caught up in a potentially dangerous situation while on a walk last week.
On April 16, Greg Saulnier and Emily Rawson were out walking in an area behind their home when one of their dogs, named Buck, fell through a hole in a field leading to an abandoned septic tank.
"My dog was in the pond out in the forest and I turned around to look for my other dog and it was completely missing," Rawson said.
Rawson and Saulnier began looking in all the storm drains and other places where a dog could get trapped and soon found it had fallen into a hole in the ground.
"He was barking really loudly – screaming almost," Rawson said.
"I almost stepped in the hole myself, I'm pretty sure."
The pair first tried to get the dog out by trying to reach in, but it was too far.
