Lost good boy rescued from Zoo's gorilla enclosure

Dog trapped in the zoo was rescued at the last minute

Two lost dogs ended up in a gorilla habitat at the San Diego Zoo's safari park. The dogs were lost at an 1,800-acre zoo in California.

One of the dogs, a male shepherd, jumped into the gorilla's habitat. Visitors reported seeing a frightened dog in the gorilla enclosure thrashing about as the gorillas tried to catch it.

People tried to distract the gorilla and called her name. The story ended happily, the zoo staff were able to save the poor dog, PEOPLE reported.
