Firefighters Rescue Blind Dog, Angus, From 10-Foot-Deep Hole

His owner did not know how Angus had managed to get outside.

A 14-year-old bulldog named Angus, whose eyes were surgically removed, had to be rescued from a 10-foot-deep hole Saturday.

Angus’s owner, Robyn Hubbard, said she calls her English Bulldog, "the no eyes, wonder dog." Hubbard left Angus inside her house when she left Saturday afternoon, but could not find him when she returned four hours later, she said.

While she looked everywhere for him, her friend noticed a pile of dirt next to Hubbard’s deck outside. She discovered a hole that went 10-feet-down, and saw Angus at the bottom, Hubbard said.

Hubbard did not know how Angus had managed to get outside.

They called the Costa Mesa Fire Department, who helped rescue Angus from the hole. He was taken to the vet, but had no injuries.
