When a couple of teachers at Birney Elementary School heard whimpers coming from a nearby sewage drain, they sprung into action. Authorities say their quick-thinking may have saved a frightened dog's life.

The educators called 911 Wednesday. When the Cobb County Fire & Emergency Services team got out to the school, they realized it was a scared pup trapped in the drain.

Firefighters worked to free the little guy, then fed and bathed him.

Authorities aren't sure how he got out there, but with his new lease on life he's up for adoption at Cobb County Animal Services.
