The dog was inside the fence for less than two hours but though he was dehydrated, he was not seriously injured, according to Officer Michael McGee.Sign up for NBC LA newsletters. "It is a small miracle that the dog did not sustain serious injuries from the barbed wire or from falling that high," McGee said.
