Another Rescue For The Fell And Moorland Wtc

[Rat face 1,655]

Just as i sat down to have my Sunday dinner the phone rang it was another distressed pet owner asking if the club could help them with there missing terrier that was last seen running to ground yesterday morning, so i went through the usual questions, permission to be on the land and all the other bits of red tape that we need to go through before we can start to sort a rescue .

 

with all the info together i rang one of my members that has been on plenty of rescue for the club lets call him ziggy with out a second thought he agreed to come help try and get this little dog out, i arranged to meet him and the dog owners son somewhere near to the earth, so Sunday dinner in the microwave and off down the motorway i went, when i got there ziggy and his dad was already on the earth weighing the situation up , At this point the dog was not making a sound so it was almost impossible to get a mark on the him all we had to go on was the word of the young lad where he last herd his dog,

 

only thing that could be done was sink a hole and try find a tube and follow it on after going down about 4 foot the digging was very easy but this was not a good thing for the missing terrier it was very soft running sand, we came across a tube and all we could do was follow it and see what happens, i must admit at this point with no noise out of the dog and the very soft ground it was not looking the best for the missing terrier but all we could do was keep tunneling on then ziggy found fresh pad marks and signs of digging on but still no dog and no noise at all so we kept on digging on we must of tunneled on around 10/15 feet into the banking one tunneling in and one clearing out, and just as we was getting to the point where it was getting too dangerous with one last spade full before we packed it in for the night and came back with heavy machinery the dog dog could be seen he had wedged him self in so tight he was struggling to breath i don't think he would have made it till the morning so with a few tugs out popped the little dog into the cold nights air to be reunited to his owners the woman and her son was over the moon and will be giving a donation to the club.

 

oh and guess what the owners rung the RSPCA before they rang us and guess what they didn't want to know and said there is nothing they could do and didn't give them any advice or anything,sound familiar ?

 

a big thanks to ziggy and his dad for giving up their Sunday evening to come help with out them that dog would have been stuck there forever

 

always remember your terriers lads

A good rescue like that shows us in a good light hope you can get more publicity out of it, maybe an article for the local/national press

Good rescue again, sometimes the instinct in the dog just comes from nowhere like a switch has been flicked on then it's tits up for the unsuspecting owner

Great work,make sure the local press get to know about it and the lack of response from the rspca.

Is the dog for sale...?

[Chicken_man 1,651]

Well done men ?

[neil cooney 10,416]

Great stuff.

The best donation those owners could give is to make sure the media hears about the RSPCA not giving a damn about an animals life.

Again Rat Face, well done.

Did you get any gravy shrink back on your roast dinner .

You were lucky being able to tunnel 10/15 feet in running sand .We have it here and you'd be pushed to get 4 foot underneath it .Well done on your rescue though .
