A dog named Sweetie has been safely rescued after becoming stranded on the roof of a two-story house.

Firefighters from Falmouth Community Fire Station responded to the incident and found Sweetie on the apex of the building. The dog had reportedly accessed the roof by climbing through a first-floor bedroom window.

Firefighter Jon Walker stated that the rescue team had to proceed with caution to avoid frightening the animal, ensuring its safe descent. Sweetie is now back on solid ground. \n"Sweetie is back on solid ground - for now - but we still expect more shenanigans from him," said his owner, who expressed gratitude to the rescuers for saving the "charming and full of character" pet. \nBack at ground level the dog has its harness on and two male firefighters and one woman are crouched beside a ladder with the dog.
