Poor little Puppy!

A week old Cocker Spaniel puppy was accidentally flushed down the toilet by a four year old boy who felt the pup needed a wash.

Frantic attempts to find the flushed puppy began, but all efforts by the fire brigade and the RSPCA at the house in Northolt, Middlesex, failed.

The ‘plumb’ job landed to drain experts Dyno-Rod, who used specialist camera gear to locate the crying pet in a pipe 20 yards away from the Blairs’ home.

Neighbours were warned not to flush their toilets to prevent him from being pushed into the main sewer and an engineer from the firm was called.

Will Craig, 22, from Harrow in Middlesex, said he was initially reluctant to nudge the pup towards a manhole cover, “because I was scared of hurting (him)”.

“But the RSPCA said I was his only hope,” he told the Daily Mirror. “Eventually I pushed him far enough for the firemen to grab.”

Cheering broke out as the pet was plucked out of the manhole to complete the rescue.

The young dog is recovering well after his draining experience and has been named Dyno in tribute to his rescuers.

Distraught Daniel said he was “so, so sorry” about flushing Dyno down the toilet, vowing: ” I won’t do it again”.
