The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/humanesocietypikespeakregion\">Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region<\/a>\u00a0recounted Rex\u2019s stinky adventure in a humorous Facebook post this week, explaining how the curious pooch got himself into a crazy predicament.<\/p>\n<p>The post begins:<\/p>\n<p><em>Hi! My name\u2019s Rex, and you\u2019re probably wondering how I got here\u2026<\/em><br \/>\n<em>See, it all started with a bunny. Or maybe it was a squirrel. Or possibly a leaf doing an extremely convincing impression of a bunny riding a squirrel. Whatever it was, it was very fast and extremely chaseable. One minute I was in my yard, sniffing things of great importance, and the next, I was in a strange new land, one filled with big lakes that smelled\u2026 funky.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Rex followed his nose into an \u201cinteresting\u201d lake, plunging in without hesitation and swimming towards a tunnel on the opposite side. The animal welfare agency writes:<\/p>\n<p><em>That\u2019s when I saw it. A shiny metal tunnel at the edge of the weird lake. It looked mysterious. Magical. Possibly full of fish. Or cheese. Or fish with cheese. Naturally, I crawled right in. That\u2026 was my first mistake.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Because the tunnel? It didn\u2019t lead to cheese. It led to a cliff. A very tall drop-off. Like, at least 100 tennis balls high. Maybe 150 if you stack them carefully. I peered over the edge and immediately thought, \u201cOh no. Nope. Nooope. I am not a cat. I do not land on my feet. I land on my face. Or my majestic behind.

Hopelessly stuck, Rex whined and cried until some skilled humans appeared to save the day. The agency described the moment the animal control officer arrived, writing:<\/p>\n<p><em>She looked into the pipe and blinked a few times, like she was trying to make sure I wasn\u2019t a swamp hallucination. I wiggled my head and barked to make sure she knew I was real, and she said, \u201cWe\u2019re gonna get you out, buddy, but I\u2019m gonna need some help.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The big guns were needed to fix Rex\u2019s predicament. Enter\u2026the fire department. The shelter said:<\/p>\n<p><em>A big red fire truck arrived, lights flashing, full of heroes. Firefighters jumped out, looked at the scene, and made the exact same face you make when your burrito falls apart halfway through eating it. But they didn\u2019t give up on me. They brought out a GIANT bucket on a giant arm. Next thing I knew, I was being scooped up like a very dirty, mildly confused prize from a claw machine. I was lifted into the air like royalty (royalty who smelled like a garbage can during a heatwave), and slowly lowered to safety.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Once I was on solid ground again, the officer checked my collar and gave someone a call.
