ROHNERT PARK, CA — A pug was recently rescued from a precarious position in Rohnert Park, where "no creature is too great or too small for our first responder teams," the Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety said.

Firefighters responded to a call last week about the little dog who'd gotten onto a roof and needed to be rescued, the department said on Facebook.

A photo shared by the department shows a firefighter standing on the roof to reach the dog.
