A heartwarming act by a Thai rescue team has drawn widespread praise after they successfully saved a young dog from drowning in a 10-metre-deep drainage shaft

 

The rescue took place in Ban Dung district, Udon Thani province, after local residents in Ban Wang Phra Ong village reported that a female dog, around two years old and named “Dang”, had fallen into a deep drainage shaft and appeared to be struggling to stay afloat.

 

Upon arrival, members of the VR Ban Dung Rescue Unit quickly assessed the situation and saw that the dog’s head was bobbing in and out of the water, showing signs of severe fatigue. Fearing the dog would drown a rescue worker “Dew” made the decision to lowered down into the narrow shaft using a rescue line and pulley system.


 

 

The confined space made the descent particularly challenging, but Dew carefully manoeuvred his way down and managed to reach the distressed dog. He lifted Dang to safety and both emerged from the shaft unharmed.

 

The moment Dang was pulled to safety, she ran straight into the arms of her relieved owner, tail wagging in clear gratitude.

 

Social media erupted with praise for the rescue team, particularly Dew, whose quick thinking and determination likely saved the dog’s life. Comments poured in, hailing the rescue workers and applauding their compassion.

 

“Every life matters,” wrote one netizen, summing up the sentiments of many who were touched by the story.

And next time a child falls into that "drainage shaft"?

What exactly is it?

Another open hole on the ground?

Sentimental twaddle, never any heart warming stories about pigs being rescued from the abattoir, but when it comes to a stinking mangy dog it's get the hankies out time. So much hypocrisy when it comes to animals.

Anyone who shows kindness to a "mere" animal should be commended, as it also shows they're likely to have respect for life, humans also. The hypocrisy is only that in general dogs are looked at as nuisances, created by the people themselves.

If you eat animals you are not showing them kindness

Some animals are here, raised in different cultures since time began, to be pets, and some to be eaten. As history has shown us, some people will eat anything. Some animals have proven to be better suited as pets, as companions, rescuers, protectors, while those others can't.

 

I'm sure some could sleep with a giraffe while some eat cats, but there is such a thing as being inhumane, raising a wild animal to be a pet. Of course some vegans will argue that all animals should be spared, but if that happened, with the over development of the lands that's been going on and will never stop, animals would be grossly out of sync with their environment, cause more attacks on humans, more vehicle accidents, more disease spreading and more starvation as the animals would run out of food. It's called being in the carrying capacity of the land they inhabit, one reason hunting needs to occur.
