A brave woman from southern India rescued a dog on Thursday (January 30th) which was trapped at the bottom of a 30-foot-deep well.<br /><br />A video of the rescue shows 40-year-old Rajni Shetty using a rope to descend the sheer walls of the water source in the Ballalbagh area of Mangaluru. <br /><br />Shetty, who admitted later that she did not know how to swim, eventually manages to tie a second rope around the animal which is hauled to safety by locals at the top of the well. <br /><br />Shetty then manages to climb out herself.<br /><br />According to Shetty, the dog ran away immediately after the roughly 45-minute rescue operation. <br /><br />Animal lover Shetty suffered a few cuts and bruises but said they were worth it to rescue an animal in distress.
