There have been many stories of animals unfortunately falling down wells, particularly in India. Anything can be trapped in the depths of these uncovered wells: elephants, leopards, and even tourists! But the good people who witness the accident go to extreme lengths to save the animal — or individual.
A simple pup was no exception. This exhilarating rescue features the poor, panicked stray at the very bottom, looking for a way out. The rescue team of Animal Aid Unlimited, India needed to find a way to safely lift the dog out of the trap, without too much risk to the rescuers themselves. According to the team, the walls of the well were crumbling, and therefore couldn't be used by a rescuer to reach the pup.
Instead, they bring in a small crane! This didn't look very safe at first, even with all the ropes attaching the brave man to the crane. But when you realize how far he was willing to go to save another, this exhilarating rescue is also very touching!
As the man is lowered into the well, he's given a net he needs to use to trap the dog. The frightened dog is cornered and the ascent begins — not without some bumps along the way. Finally, they whisk the pup away.
But wait until you see him in a shelter — he looks as happy and healthy as can be!
