hushpuppy Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 The poor dog is deaf and blind, just 'cos he doesn't respond it doesn't mean he's dead. He just can't tell if anyone is trying to get him out and probably exhausted himself crying and wriggling around. They said it takes an hour to dig a metre, I know if it was my dog I would dig with my bare hands if I had to and I wouldn't rest until I got to her, alive or dead.

Ruby1Nic Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 OMG no - how sad I'd be beside myself if I was the owner and the authorities had given up. How awful. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,...rss&feed=11 Just seen this report on another site - just too awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReikiAnge Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 So sad. Poor little Sprogget I guess they didn't realise chocolate is poisonous to dogs I did try to google for a telephone number for the colliery earlier to tell them, in case they were going to put more down, but couldn't find any phone number.

~Canis-Equus~ Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Poor Sprogget. I have to say though... well done to everyone who has given up time voluntarily to attempt his rescue. I personally know members of caving and mountain rescue times (dont know if anyone i know was involved in this one) and I have to say its heartbreaking to see (not here i must add) people implying that the rescuers dont 'care' enough to try harder, or havent made enough effort. Rescues like this are often extremely dangerous, extremely hard work (you cant actualy dig through rock without heavy machinery, often the way cave and mine systems are opened up is via explosives which obviously werent safe in this situation) and to see these people being slated is horrific! They dont do these jobs for money and I know of people who have risked their lives to rescue dogs in similar situations. It is tragic that Sprogget couldnt be rescued and Id think no one is more aware of that than the people hwo have tried so hard to save him. Hopefully blocking up the sink hole he vanished down will prevent any other dogs suffering the same fate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
