Of the many animals rescued by Animal Rahat last month, this puppy was perhaps in the most dire situation. He had fallen down a bore well, which as you can see, was far too narrow for a person to descend. So an Animal Rahat staffer fashioned a lasso and lowered it down the well. After 90 minutes of painstaking attempts, he successfully caught one of the puppy’s legs and ever so gently pulled him to safety.

The staffer located the puppy’s mother and siblings, and—after having one of our veterinarians check to make sure the puppy hadn’t sustained any injuries—returned him to his family, who was overjoyed to welcome him back home. Afterward, the Animal Rahat team persuaded the villagers to seal the well by filling it with sand and stones and covering it with tile slabs.
