'That's what we are here for is to meet the need no matter what the need is,' fire officials said.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. -- A horse named Shooter was stuck in a trench for about two hours before being rescued in Oklahoma.
The horse and its owner, Mark Knowles, have a 16-year relationship, and Knowles is just happy Shooter is doing OK,"My emotions were running pretty wild, and he's been my pal for 16 years," Knowles said."He was born on this place.""I was in the kitchen just taking my meds, doing what I do, and my wife, she said, 'Mark, there's a horse over on Lincoln that fell in a hole.' 'Course when I came around, I know it was him right away.
Using a rope and the excavator to make stairs, fire and construction crews got Shooter out nearly two hours later. "It's always a good feeling. That's what we are here for is to meet the need no matter what the need is. The horse owner and the property owner were obviously very thankful in the job that was done," the fire official said."He's my baby, and I love him," Knowles said."He's going to get him some extra treats."
