A dog had to be rescued from an attic in Nassau County on Monday.

Firefighters responded to a home in Freeport after getting a call for the animal being stuck in a crawlspace.

Upon arrival, crews determined the German Shepherd had fallen through a void in the attic.

The dog had been trapped there for two days, officials say.

Rescuers used a sawzall to open a hole in a wall above the kitchen cabinets to gain access to the area.

Once freed, the pet was safely returned to its owner.
