When a patrol was present at the scene, the agents observed that it was the canal with a slope of about 3 meters.
Said channel had little water and the dogan Argentine bulldog, was immobilized as part of his body was buried in the mud, and his two hind legs could have been damaged.
The animal complained of its condition with continuous howling, moving desperately to escape from the mud. That is why, in order to help him and take him to a safe place, the agents decided to proceed to his rescue.
Due to the great difficulties presented by the terrain, to avoid sinking and maintain stability, and after suffering several falls and slips as a result of the inclination of the walls, the agents managed to free the animal from the mud.
Once taken to an area that was not swamped, they were offered water for hydration.
