Dozens gathered outside 303 S. Jackson St. at about 10:30 a.m. Saturday to watch as Youngstown firefighters, police and the Mahoning County dog warden rescued a dog that had been stuck on the roof for three days.
Neighbors called to report a Rottweiler had escaped from a hole in the attic of a three-story home on South Jackson Street three days ago. Christopher Gonzalez, 20, who lives across the street from the 303 S. Jackson St. residence, said he saw the dog stuck a few days ago.
It sounded like they took the call as a joke at first, Gonzalez said. I called a last time this morning since that dog seems like its really struggling, and finally everybodys here.
After about an hour, Kyle Trimble, a firefighter, carried the dog to safety with the help of others. DAndre Berger, the dogs owner, arrived to the scene in the middle of the rescue, explaining he had been staying at a friends house the past week. He said the South Jackson Street residence had been broken into this week.
The dog warden said at the scene that the dog would not be released to the owner, as Berger did not have a license to own the dog.

(3,508 posts)What a jackass leaving his dog all alone to fend for himself, sounds like he hadn't arranged a petsitter at all. No wonder the poor fella busted his way out in desperation.

How the hell could his owner leave him alone for a week without any care?
