State Trooper Jimmy Rasaphone is being celebrated after crawling 15 feet into a culvert pipe to save Lilah, a Golden Retriever.
The 13-and-a-half-year-old dog had been missing in Broome County for several days before she was discovered deep underground.
Rasaphone managed to save Lilah by tying a rope to her leash, descending the pipe, getting a collar on her, and pulling her out to safety.
