Police officers save dog who dug herself under a house in West Seneca

WEST SENECA, N.Y. (WHEC) — Two Western New York police officers spent a chunk of their Monday digging, trying to reach a dog named Buttercup.

The West Seneca Police Department documented the rescue on Twitter.

West Seneca Police said Buttercup managed to dig her way deep under a house and couldn’t get out, so the two responding officers grabbed a shovel and started digging until they could reach her.
