Some animals arrive at the Houston SPCA full of mystery and without a history, while others are brought in with a dramatic story worthy of a TV special.
Boots is one such canine, who was recently rescued by Houston SPCA's 24-hour Animal Rescue Ambulance when he was found trapped in a storm drain.
A concerned resident heard crying coming from the underground concrete structure and called it in. Soon, a team of EVMTs (emergency veterinary medical technicians) was on the scene, with one being able to crawl into the small space under the street and retrieve the helpless pup.
