(WSVN) &#8211; A small dog found itself stuck in a drain in Tampa and when first responders arrived, they had to get creative to help the dog out of the tight spot. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tampa Police officers along with volunteers grabbed a bucket, filled it with pieces of cheese, and used a rope to bring the bucket down the drain, hoping the dog would take the bait and jump inside the bucket.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a few minutes, the dog did just that! <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officers pulled up the rope, bringing the bucket \u2014 and the dog\u2013 out of the drain and into safe hands. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Detectives said the dog was turned over to animal control and it has since found its forever home. <\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 Sunbeam Television Corp.
