Lassie abdicated jurisdiction to the Fresno Fire Department on Tuesday when a puppy named Timmy fell down a well.

Timmy, a six-week-old shepherd mix, found himself in quite a pickle when he accidentally fell 50 feet into an old well casing near his home in Fresno. His owners heard him crying and called Fresno FD for a hand.

Firefighter Mark Garcia, subject of the world's cutest photo with Timmy (seen above), managed to lasso the frightened puppy with a knotted rope and pull him up to safety.

The exposed pipe has been covered over so hopefully no other curious puppies will find themselves in a similar predicament.
