REHOBOTH BEACH, DE- Firefighters in Rehoboth Beach rescued a dog who was stuck in a tree over the weekend.

The assistant fire chief at the Rehoboth Beach Volunteer Fire Company says a dog was spotted about 10 feet up in tree on the western banks of the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal near Canal Corkran on Sunday.

Crews waded through water and hiked through about 300 yards of marsh. They got a ladder and were able to bring the dog down in a blanket.

They believe the dog was in the tree for a while. It did not have chip or a collar.

The dog was taken to the Brandywine Valley SPCA. Vets at the SPCA say the dog is about five-years-old and doing well.
