Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­police and firefighters teamed up to rescue a doggo in a perilous predicament over the weekend.

The Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­Fire Fighters IAFF Local #18 shared a video of a golden-colored pooch that had walked out of a balcony from an apartment and onto a very narrow ledge.

The frightened canine managed to walk out to the other side of the building before it laid down on the slim surface. Thankfully, a Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­Police Department (VPD) officer was able to coax the dog close to the balcony and then pull it up over the railing to safety. 

"I’m sure we’ve all heard of [firefighters] saving cats from trees but [Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­police] saving dogs from balconies is a new one," commented the firefighter's local, adding that the rescue was a joint effort between the VPD and the Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­Fire Rescue Services (VFRS).

Vancouverite Tina Logan that it is a "reminder to keep an eye on open windows and your pets when they are on the patio."

Firefighters often rescue pets from fires in the city. However, a firefighter recently helped rescue a tiny kitten was rescued after it was trapped on a Metro Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­property for four days.
