A Junior Firefighter from Hermanus saved a tiny puppy who was stuck for over 6 hours in a borehole.
After more than 6 hours trapped deep inside of a narrow borehole well, a terrified puppy has finally been brought to safety — ending his unimaginable ordeal.
It’s unclear how the small dog ended up in the well in the town of Hermanus, but residents were alerted to his predicament by the sound of whimpering. One look at the narrow space made it clear that he could never escape on his own.
Jacques van Lill, a Junior Firefighter from Hermanus brought the tiny puppy to safety with the help of the fire brigade and law enforcement officers.
“The puppy was in good health given his ordeal.”
“The rescuers’ perseverance in saving this Jack Russel is amazing. Well done to Jacques and the team,” said Johan du Toit, assistant chief: law enforcement.
