Kimberley – 22 November
ER24 Paramedics and rescue technicians are currently busy to attempt to rescue a dog that had fallen down the Big Hole in Kimberley.
It is understood that the dog had been in the hole for a couple of days already and details around the delay to notify authorities are unknown.
The dog had been swimming around, in an attempt to find a way out but fortunately found a ledge to rest at, which probably saved him thus far.
Rescue technicians had a difficult task in establishing firm ground to start the operation and to have the necessary rigging safely attached.
The 200m drop into the hole will take some time for the rescuers to reach the dog.
