In a touching rescue tale, people respond quickly and compassionately to free a dog that is stuck in an underground conduit after hearing sounds and crying from a drain.

Sometimes you have to pay attention to what’s going on around you. You might see something strange or out of place that could end up changing your life. For these workers at Boveney Lock in Dorney, Buckinghamshire, this is the case.

They were hired because the owner of a lost dog thought it was underground. Everyone thought the owner was crazy, because how does a dog get under the ground?

But imagine that you are walking through a parking lot and you hear a strange sound coming from the ground. What would you do in the end if you couldn’t find your dog?

This group of people decided to start digging. They tore up all the concrete and dirt until they reached the pipe underground.

When they got to the pipe, they had to cut a hole to find out what was making the noise.

When the worker got inside, he found something he had never thought was possible.

Deep inside the underground pipe, a tiny Jack Russell Terrier was stuck and scared. Even more amazing is the fact that the dog was stuck in the pipe for more than 4 days.

What an amazing and brave story about getting this dog out of a pipe. I didn’t think they’d find a living animal in there, but I’m so happy this animal rescue turned out well.

It’s been shown over and over again that dogs are a man’s best friend.

If I heard a dog in this area, I would do everything possible to remove it. I am certain that the owner will never again allow her puppy to escape her sight.

They must determine how he entered and seal off the entrance to prevent this from happening again.

The charity homes the animals, some of which arrived as they could no longer be cared for by their previous owner, at a centre in East Ardsley. Regardless of how they end up there, the animals are cared for until a new home can be found. The RSPCA also offers advice to people who already own pets but may be struggling to cope with the cost of food or healthcare.

Here are all the cats, dogs and rabbits currently being cared for at the centre that have not yet been matched up with the right owners. More information can be found on the RSPCA Leeds and Wakefield website.
