Coco and the Mineshaft

Some dogs are just natural survivors. Coco, the Patterdale Terrier, is one such dog. Out for a walk with her human Rebecca recently, she had the misfortune to fall down a disused mineshaft.

Fearing the worst, Rebecca called in some local cavers to try to locate her. After six days searching, they finally located her 180 feet down a deep, dark hole. Amazingly, she was uninjured apart from a small cut and a sore leg!

Now she's reunited with Rebecca, none the worse for her ordeal. I thought it was only cats who had nine lives!
