CINCINNATI, Ohio - The dog, Gertie, had been missing for five days when the Cincinnati Fire Department received a call about a homeowner hearing dog cries through a wall in their garage.
Gertie had run away before, but returned to the garage soon after. This time, when she didn’t return, Gertie’s owner Connie Frick and her partner posted flyers around town.RELATED: Video:Dogs rescued from deadly European floodwaterFrick’s neighbor, Vanessa Roland, spotted Gertie trapped in the garage through a gap in her attic’s floorboard and called the fire department.
