120 pound Great Dane stuck in a tree (as seen on TV)

Yeah, the fire department didn't believe it either, until they saw it. My roommate's Great Dane managed to climb 20 feet up into a maple tree, where she promptly got stuck.

We ended up with 2 sheriff's patrol officers, K-9 unit, fire engine, tanker truck and paramedics all joining in to help rescue the hapless dog. It was quite the circus.

This happened late at night (about 10 pm), but the light sensitivity of the NX1 and the S lenses is very impressive. The entire scene was illuminated only by flashlights, the built-in flash (I'm kicking myself for not buying the SEF580), and later, the lights from the various rescue vehicles.

Yep, it's a Great Dane in a tree.

Way up in a tree.

Way, WAY up in a tree.

Fire Department to the rescue!

So undignified.

Some of my shots were used on the TV news.

Someone needs to teach that dog that it's a dog, not a cat!
