After this dog fell down an old 100 foot well, he was trapped without food or water for hours as no one could come up with a way to safely remove him without getting trapped as well.
Rather than give up, volunteers from Animal Aid Unlimited, a rescue centre, hospital and sanctuary for sick and homeless animals in India, worked tirelessly to find a way to rescue the trapped dog. “Rocks broke off and crumbled when we tested them to see if we could safely lower our rescuer, Ganpat,” the organization wrote in a post on their Facebook. “We tried to approach from every angle before deciding it was just too dangerous to descend by rope. So we drove across the city and hired a crane to come to assist the rescue.”
Because of the crumbling walls of the well, the rescue team couldn’t risk lowering someone down with a rope, so the team had to get creative to think of a solution. Eventually, they were able to get a crane and tie a makeshift harness to lower someone down and rescue the dog.
The dog was clearly frightened as it cowered in the corner of the well, but transformed after he was rescued and fed a good meal. Rather than cowering from people, the dog was loving all the attention, and his couldn’t stop smiling.
