A dog was freed by fire and emergency crew after falling into a cavity in a seawall on Ōrewa Beach, Auckland. Photo / SuppliedA spokesman said two nearby excavators were used to help remove rocks, which freed the dog about 30 minutes after the crew arrived. Onlookers said construction workers in the area, who wore high-vis vests, assisted crews in freeing the dog. Lee said it was “really lucky” that nothing fell on to the dog when the rocks were moved.
