Near Halifax, this poor dog, Rosey, fell nearly 10 yards down underground through a 12 inch gap, and has been stuck there for 7 days. Great news is rescuers are able to feed and water her, but they think it may take them another week to get her out

    This doesn’t paint a good picture of the fire service.

    >A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said its technical rescue unit have been called out twice to try to find the dog – once on Thursday and then again on Friday.

    >”On the first occasion there was no sign of the animal except barking so we left the scene in the hands of the dog’s owner,” said the spokesperson.

    >”On the second occasion our cameras picked the animal up approximately eight metres into the rock face.

    >”Our firefighters could not access the animal within the rock as the gap was too narrow (approximately 12 inches at the widest part and then getting narrower), the animal was too deep into the rock face, and we could not drill into the rock without damaging the structural integrity of the area.”

    So they just left a dog to die from starvation?

  2. Poor girl, I really hope they can free her. I’d be beside myself if that happened to mine 😔

  3. Can’t imagine how traumatic that must be for the owner and the dog. I’d be there until I got my dog out if it was me.
