“Wow. Drama at the dog park, kids in the play area came to call me (the only person with a dog) to report a sad lone doggo, trapped in the storm drain. I go over to see a shivering little Pedigree Boston Terrior, with one distinct blue eye and one dark patch one.
“Another dog walker joins me and luckily she’s got her phone, so can take a photo and puts it in the area whatsapp group. Scared doggo seems friendly and shaken. It’s not “trapped” just unable to jump out over the high wall. Her Smaller poodle type dogs keep jumping in and out,” wrote Campey on Twitter.

Skunk’s family was away on a holiday when he was found. They had to cut their vacation short.
“My family and I were only due to come home much later in the month, but I managed to get a super early flight and now I’m on my way home to see my boy. I’m absolutely, fucking over the moon right now. It’s a miracle that he made it back to us. I still cannot believe it.
“Words fail to express just how happy I am right now, I haven’t slept because I’ve been busy trying to sort out flights back home, but I think I’ll only be able to sleep properly once I hold my boy and know he’s finally safe,” said Shachar as quoted by the report.
