A dog was rescued after it was found floating down a canal on a submerged shopping cart.
Passersby alerted the Arizona Humane Society (AHS) after they spotted the pup stuck in the middle of a canal in Phoenix, Ariz.
An emergency animal medical technician from AHS was dispatched immediately and with the help of the Phoenix Fire Department, they were able to save the Chihuahua mix.
Video shows the team using a ladder and a rake to pull the dog out to safety.
The dog called 'Dorothea' was assessed in AHS’ Pet Ambulance where she was found to be dehydrated, hungry and covered in ticks.
When later treated by a vet at Lazin Animal Foundation Trauma Hospital she was found to only have sustained minor injuries.
Dorothea, 10, has since found a new home and is living with a family in Youngtown, Arizona.
