The driver had managed to extricate himself before the arrival of the firefighters, but his dog who accompanied him was nowhere to be found.
However, the firefighters could hear his moans and redoubled their efforts to get him out of there as quickly as possible. They received help from a local towing company, one of whose engines managed to pull the wrecked car out of the water.
The dog had little chance of surviving such an accident, but he did.
Once the latter was on solid ground and returned to the place, the rescuers were able to locate and free the animal. It was in a small space under the floor that formed an air pocket.
This is what allowed him to hold these 20 minutes separating the accident and his rescue.
