What was supposed to be a caving excursion in Missouri turned into a rescue mission after a dog was found curled up and malnourished about 500 feet into the cave system.
Rick Haley has come across some unique finds since he started exploring caves in 1989. But even he couldn’t believe what he saw on Saturday.
Gerry Keene was 500 feet underground on a cave exploration adventure in Missouri when his headlamp shone on something he’d never seen this deep in a cave: a dog.
Abby was quiet and relaxed as they moved her through the tight spaces, perhaps because she knew she was being rescued, said one caver.
It took about an hour to get the dog out of the cave before she was returned to her owners.
