After a dog fell down a deep hole, she swam in circles for hours, anxiously hoping for help. She eventually grew so fatigued and weak that she couldn’t swim any more, and that’s when she was discovered.
A local eventually discovered the unfortunate dog anxiously hanging to the well’s side and phoned Animal Aid Unlimited, hoping for assistance. The rescue team went out to find her, but when they arrived, it appeared like the poor dog had given up hope.
She appeared disheartened, leaning against the well’s wall, until she heard a noise above and lifted her head.
When she realized that relief had arrived, the fatigued dog collected all of her remaining power and began swimming in circles, overjoyed to see her rescuers.

As a rescuer was lowered down the well, the beautiful dog continued to swim around and around. She happily greeted him and then allowed him place her in a net.

The rescuers above then began carefully lifting the net up to safety, till she was finally secure in their arms.

Rescuers rushed the adorable dog to the vet to ensure she wasn’t wounded, then gave her plenty of room to recuperate and lots of love and hugs, which she gratefully embraced. The unfortunate dog would have drowned if it hadn’t been for the wonderful rescuers. She seemed to have recognized this and is obviously thankful to them for sparing her life.

An Early Second Chance
On my way to work as a vet technician a few weeks ago, I saw what looked like a sock or shirt laying in the road. I didn’t think much of it.
About 15 minutes later a woman came in holding a box and said she found a kitten on the road, and she thinks it is still alive. My heart sank knowing I drove right past this sweet girl without thinking twice. I took her into the exam room and the doctor decided she may have a broken jaw and some head trauma. We administered a steroid injection, subcutaneous fluids, pain medication, and started her on antibiotics.
The first two days were not great for her. She was in some pain and could not hold her head upright. On day 3, she was starting to improve, she was less stuffy, her head was upright, and she was eating well from a syringe.
I decided to take her home and continue her care there, and bring her to work with me every day. Since then this little girl has blossomed into quite the firecracker! She is still syringe feeding, as she is only about 4 weeks old, maybe 5, and she loves to chase my feet when I walk!
If it weren’t for the woman finding her, this little girl wouldn’t have stood a chance out there along the road. My husband decided to name her Nook, and she is settling in quite well at home with our three other cats.
