Utility Worker Comes to the Rescue of Stranded Dog
A dog in Prescott Valley, Arizona found itself trapped in a 10-foot-deep sinkhole for days, but thanks to the keen ear of a utility worker, the canine was rescued after its desperate barks were heard. This incident unfolds as a testament to the lengths individuals will go to save an animal in distress.
Initial Discovery by a Passing Utility Worker
The drama began on a Friday when a utility worker reported hearing persistent barking from a deep hole. According to the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office, he nearly lost his footing as he approached the sinkhole, startled by the sound of barking echoing from below.
Upon peering into the hole, he was shocked to find a small dog stranded at the bottom, unable to escape on its own. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, he promptly alerted local authorities.
The Response from Animal Control
Animal Control officers arrived rapidly on the scene following the worker’s call. As they prepared to assess the situation, the initial utility worker described the scene in a Facebook video shared by the sheriff’s office. He remarked, “That little guy’s stuck,” expressing concern for the dog’s well-being.
The animal control officer confirmed the urgency of the situation.
