Aussie Community Comes Together to Rescue Dog Stuck in Crevice for 2 Days
Local volunteers in Australia’s Central Coast region came together after several Facebook posts asked for help to rescue a dog trapped in a crevice in Wyong Creek on January 16.
Video recorded by Jake Cassar captures the moment when Jax, a Staffordshire terrier, was rescued after being stuck in a cave for two days.
The owners of the dog had asked for help from several Facebook groups, requesting for jackhammers and suggestions to free their dog. The posts were shared over a thousand times, which led to many members in the community offering their help.
After Jax was rescued, a message from his owner thanking the community was posted to Facebook by NSW Central Coast Incident Alerts, News & Information. Credit: Jake Cassar via Storyful
