HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – A yellow lab turned brown after falling nearly 20 feet into a cesspool on Maui.
15-year-old Tressa is back home after she was pulled from the cesspit in her owner’s yard in Haiku on Tuesday.
With help from Chris Berquist from the Hawaii Search Tech Advisory Team, Tressa was hauled safely up from the messy pit.
Berquist slid into the pit and bundled Tressa in a net and hauled her out using a rope.
“So I put on fishing waders, a raincoat and duct tape, boots, and duct taped the wrists and put on a helmet and a trash bag as a durag,” Berquist said.
Tressa spent the Tuesday night at Makawao Animal Hospital and was discharged the following day without any major injuries.
