Dog with paw stuck in drain rescued by Ventura firefighters

VENTURA, Calif. -- Ventura City Fire Department rescued a dog whose paw was stuck in a sink drain on Friday afternoon in Ventura.

Ventura City Fire responded to a report of an animal in distress at around 1:57 pm at Todd Ranch in Ventura.
