MISD says Officer Bobby Thongsavat, the school's SRO, asked the students to return to class and assured them he would handle the situation.
While waiting for animal control, Officer Thongsavat encountered MISD plumbers. After explaining the situation, the crew called on their "thinnest members" to enter the storm drain and save the puppy.
The school district says the plumbers recovered the pup in only a few minutes.
