The dog in the photo is called Jessie, is one Jack Russell for four years he spent a week trapped bass 45 tons of rock, After falling by a crack of 11 depth meters.
It was a Saturday, When Mr Steve Porter (owner of Jessie), He was with his dog to hunt rabbits, commonplace in the routine of Steve and Jessie. They were hunting on Mount Beckworth, between Clunes and Waubra, when Jessie ran out to a cat… Something that didn't catch Steve's attention at all, since she knew the area well and the dog always ran away animals she found in the field.
He did not return immediately, but that was not something unusual, but after a while he began to hear howls of despair of Jessie, and then, knew that he was in trouble. Yes, had fallen through a crack 11 meters deep, being buried by a pile of rocks that prevented it from leaving on its own foot...
Jessie could only move his head and front legs, right to ask for relief.
Such tragedy, the owner did not hesitate a minute and set up a rescue plan, much help was needed and (lot of money), tons of stone had to be moved.
A team of four people, worked tirelessly, sometimes even the 2 am, to move the rock, centimeter by centimeter. Including some representatives of the Maryborough state emergency service that, they were able to move a rock weighing around 20 tons, but still, Jessie was unattainable.
Jessie, was barely visible to its owner, but I knew he was there. The ordeal lasted a week… And, Steve was there, glued to the rocks, moving heaven and Earth to rescue him.
His son Tom – along with the rescue team- had already started drilling into the solid granite rock, but time was running out, and many people believed that it was a madness, that it was useless to try because it would take a long time and maybe Jessie wouldn't last that long there...
But Steve, no surrender, even hiring specific machinery for working with stones, i.e. a hydraulic machine which managed to bring from Melbourne, capable of lifting 95 tons. But still, Jessie, couldn't move.
Steve, in an interview, he recounted that, though the soul made pieces he thought more than once in the chance to sacrifice Jessie, to avoid
this terrible suffering, Although the distant look lively (Although exhausted) the dog, I told him that he should go ahead and save her..
Finally, after seven days underground, Jessie was rescued with a rope and a special harness, you could hook. As soon as he came to the surface, He ran straight towards Mr.. Porter and leapt into his arms.
“I couldn't believe it was in such good condition.!, Neither, It has been able to believe it the vet”, Porter said.
After spending the night under observation at a Veterinary Clinic, It was published - the weekend- the state –surprisingly- well, It was, Jessie.
In an interview that he made to the Sr. Porter, Once past the Calvary, They asked if I would go hunting again despite what happened, and he answered yes, the dog is already anxious to leave adventure.
Here we have another story that is worth reading and keeping in mind. It helps us understand that the love of animals has no limits, and at the same time we, shivers thinking, How is it possible that abuse exists…
A real example.
