"I just saw theses piles of dirt coming out, I'm like, 'Where are they all going to go? How deep?' By the end of the day, they were holding the firemen by their feet," said Timmerman.

Crews cut through the deck and broke through concrete to free the dog. But the repairs aren't covered by insurance.
