Firefighters Arrive To Free Dog From Dirt Tunnel, Find 80-Pound Tortoise Wedged In Beside Her

Tracy Arballo’s German shepherd, Taylor, is a big fan of playing fetch, chasing after her toys, and being her usual rambunctious self.

The Arballo family lives in Fontana, California. There’s a long tunnel that runs underneath the concrete patio in their backyard. One day, Taylor wound up several feet deep in the tunnel. Though she’d normally be able to find her way out of such a predicament with ease, this particular day was different.

You see, Godzilla was in Taylor’s way.

Godzilla is Taylor’s brother… and he’s a giant 80-pound tortoise. Godzilla is also the one who apparently dug the tunnel in the family’s backyard.

When Taylor tried squeezing her way out of the tunnel, she was met with Godzilla’s stubborn presence. It seemed the tunnel wasn’t big enough for the both of them, so the dog and tortoise ended up tightly wedged in the tunnel about 6 feet from the entrance. They were trapped side by side and in desperate need of assistance.

When she couldn’t free her pets on her own, Tracy called her local firefighters. Her entire family, along with the rescue crew, spent 30 minutes trying to get Godzilla to move. But he just wouldn’t budge.

As you’ll see in the rescue video below, a little bit of lettuce went a long way.
