The dog, named Hubert, is a rescue dog.

The dogwalker said Hubert ran into the drain after hearing a loud noise. After his rescue, the dog's mom raised her hands to the sky as they walked away.

Boston drain workers and a National Grid backhoe assisted in the rescue -- fire officials said the dog had been running deeper into the pipe when he heard noise, so they dug behind him.
