Passersby alerted the Humane Society after they spotted the pup stuck in the middle of a canal in Phoenix.

Video shows the team using a ladder and a rake to pull the dog out to safety.

The senior pooch called ‘Dorothea’ was assessed in the AHS Pet Ambulance where she was found to be dehydrated, hungry and covered in ticks.
