Fourteen adorable puppies were rescued after a rollover crash in Connecticut Thursday morning, authorities said.
According to Connecticut State Police, the car carrying the puppies crashed into a utility pole on Senexet Road in Woodstock around 6 a.m.
No one was injured in the incident, but emergency workers cared for 14 puppies.
Muddy Brook Fire Department said rescue efforts were possible after power was cut off from the fallen power line.
Northeastern Connecticut Council of Governments Animal Services and Dr. Gwen Gaumond of Peak Brook Veterinary Center responded to the scene and provided veterinary care and shelter for the animals.
Photos from the scene posted by the fire department showed several puppies of various breeds at the scene, some still in cages and others comforted in the arms of rescue workers.
Peak Brook Animal Center told The Washington Post that all the puppies were safe and “most had happy endings,” but did not provide any additional information about the puppies’ condition.
“It’s unfortunate that something like this happens, but I’m pleased that the local community was able to trust the response of Peak Brook Veterinary Centre and our mobile unit,” Dr Gaumond said.
