John and Cindy Billsberger’s beloved dog, Bruno, had run away from home. For a month they searched for it, desperate, John and Cindy began to hope for the worst.
One day, John found himself half a mile away from home and noticed a street dog showing a very strange interest in one place.
As he approached the place, he came upon a ten-pound (~3 m) hole, which was presumably an abandoned well. At the bottom of the well lay Bruno.
It was in very bad condition, its eyes sunken in, its body covered with sores and cuts. John realized that he had to act quickly.
The man called his son, who arrived and, tying a rope around his waist, jumped into the well and helped the dog get out.
The Billisbergers took the injured dog to a nearby clinic in Estevan, Canada, where doctors immediately began to heal its wounds
Bruno was eventually diagnosed with dehydration. According to the vets, it was very lucky that there was some water in the well, which helped keep it alive.
To date, Bruno is still in the veterinary clinic, but the dog is already on the mend.
