PANAMA CITY, Florida — Authorities in Florida said a homeless couple and their puppy were rescued from a garbage truck after falling asleep in a trash bin.
Panama City police said the garbage truck driver called authorities Tuesday morning when he heard calls for help coming from the back of his vehicle shortly after emptying the bin behind Catholic Charities in Panama City.
The police report said the driver was able to help a man–identified as Christopher McCormick–out of the back of the truck and Panama City Fire Department workers were able to free the woman, Jessica McCormick, “after removing a large amount of trash.”
