Dog rescued from deep well underneath Texas house
Feb. 27 (UPI) -- Animal rescuers in Texas shared the "rescue story of a lifetime," which involved firefighters, a dog and a deep well under a house.
The Longview Animal Care and Adoption Center said in a Facebook post that personnel responded alongside the Longview Fire Department when a dog "somehow managed to fall down a well under a house" and "found himself in a dangerous situation."
Officials wrote that the animal control officers and firefighters were able to rescue the dog with their "heroic efforts."
Photos from the scene show rescuers climbing into the small crawlspace under the house to reach the well where the canine was trapped.
The post said the dog was "shaken, but unharmed."
"We are beyond grateful to these everyday heroes for not only saving the dog's life, but to one of his rescuers that has chosen to adopt him in the case an owner can not be located," the post said.
