Senna the spaniel rescued after being trapped in drainage pipe in Market Weston for more than three hours

A nine-year-old dog was rescued after being trapped in a drainage pipe for more than three hours.

Senna the spaniel got stuck more than 30 metres inside the pipe at his home in Hepworth Road, Market Weston.

Suffolk Fire and Rescue were called to the scene at 11.14am and were able to locate and dig Senna free.

Fortunately, the dog was unharmed following the three-hour ordeal.

Station Manager Adam Eagle, who attended the incident, said the pipe drains into a nearby pond which is believed to be where Senna initially became stuck.

He said: "A team from the Norfolk Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) was called in and, working with a local drainage company, the dog’s owners and local residents, we were able to locate Senna.

"Thanks to the combined efforts of USAR, the owners, and local residents, we were able to dig down to the pipe and create an access point.

"After some encouragement from his owner, Senna was able to be brought back up and was safely rescued."
