In the video , which has 11.5 million position as of this piece of writing , the dog — who appear to be aMorkie — is lured out of the drain by the hope of intellectual nourishment , as the TV captions situate that he ’s been down there for days . As Vega lifts the small dog out of the bulwark gap , he and the person shooting the video commentary on how unfit the unsportsmanlike little pupper smell before placing him inside a plastic bag for easy ecstasy .
Vaga took the doggo to the veterinary where he was looked over and , according to the video , " throw medicine . " After the exam , where the veterinary commit the puppy ’s age at about 3 months , Vega took the little guy wire home and clean him up . Judging by the follow - up videos posted to Vega ’s Tiktok report , the dog , now named Rusty ( after Rust - Oleum paint ) , seems to be favorable and happy and doing well .
Vega explains the vet checked Rusty for amicrochip , rule none , and that he ’d see around the neighbourhood and online for any missing domestic dog info and come up empty .
