Titusville firefighters are credited with rescuing an injured dog whose owner said was hiding under a house.

The homeowner said her dog had been under the house for approximately 24 hours, so firefighters went to work, crawling under the house in two different locations to attempt to located the small Jack Russell Terrier.

One of the firefighters made his way to the dog and gently guided it out from underneath the house into the arms of another firefighter. The dog was returned to its owner safely so it could receive medical care.
