A Surry Hills dog has fallen into a sinkhole this evening.
The dog was initially picked up by his owner who was sick of the dog’s fussing as he made dinner in order to prove that all the dinner had in fact been cleared and the bench was free of any food.
Not content observing the scene, the dog wriggled free.
An exasperated owner allowed the dog to briefly inspect the kitchen bench.
That’s when tragedy almost struck.
After smelling a piece of errant lamb in one corner of the sink the dog leaned for a closer sniff, and slipped in.
The owner who cannot be named for legal reasons then called 000, reporting the sinkhole.
“I was watching a documentary on SBS about sinkholes at the time and I guess I just panicked,” he said.
He screamed “My dog just fell in a sinkhole!” said State Emergency Services telephone operator Judith Coleman, “I of course assumed he meant one in the ground, so I took the matter with grave seriousness. Turns out he’s just a dickhead.”
Shortly afterwards, three SES vehicles arrived accompanied by two fire trucks and police.
Upon realising the man’s incredible stupidity the dog was removed by an SES worker and the man was placed under arrest for misuse of public services and extreme dickheadery.
