A dog in Ohio that was missing for nearly a week got a happy ending after she was found trapped inside the walls of a home, according to the Cincinnati Fire Department. Gertie had been gone for five days when the fire department got a call from a homeowner who heard her crying behind the wall of a garage.

The pup was stuck and impossible to reach, so crews used a sledgehammer to break the wall down and get Gertie out.
