A Compassion Crew Rescues a Frightened Dog Calling For Help From the Bottom of a Dry Well

Upon receiving a call, a compassionate crew from Animal Aid Unlimited, came to the rescue of Ruby, a sweet but scared dog who was calling out for help after she had gotten trapped at the bottom of an empty well near Udaipur, Rajasthan, India. Seeing Ruby’s desperate situation, the men worked together to lower down a rescuer, who was met with a warm vocal welcome from Ruby, who appeared relieved that she was no longer alone. Once back on land, Ruby readily thanked her rescuers with lots of tail wagging.

We have no idea how Ruby could have survived this incredibly long fall. From the bottom of a 50 foot hole (a dry well) rose up the most plaintive cries for help. When our rescue crew arrived she literally sobs she’s so beside herself with emotion, as if she needed to share behind tears the whole of her terrible ordeal, the fear she must have felt while falling, the disastrous realization that she couldn’t get out…and above her, she weeps almost in disbelief, may be–…yes–it is help! Watch the strain on our rescuer Ganpat’s face in the final moments before Ruby is lifted from his shaking arms after he is rope lifted some 50 feet.
