Gloria Shipman, who took care of the dog, told the publication that Bentley is a medical animal for her daughter.
“As it happened, Bentley and I made visual contact,” she told the publication about the rescue operation. “The helpless look on his face, I can’t describe it in any other way than him saying to me, ‘Help me,’ and I couldn’t.”
After emergency responders arrived at the scene, they listened to Bentley’s breathing to locate him in the chimney, according to the fire department. They also asked the West Fargo Department of Public Works for help.
