A stray dog fell into 70-foot deep irrigation well on Aurangabad road at Ahmednagar, India on Tuesday (June 16).<br /><br />A local resident called animal rescuer Akash Jadhav, who went with his team to rescue the dog. <br /><br />The poor animal had struggled to stay afloat and was precariously holding onto a slippery rock. <br /><br />“It was exhausted and extremely stressed. It would have drowned if a concerned resident had not called us on time,” said Akash Jadhav. <br /><br />A team member, Nawaj Shaikh, got down the well with the help of a harness and tried to scoop up the dog with a butterfly net. But the terrified animal eluded the net several times and went back to clinging on to the rock. <br /><br />Working patiently after nearly an hour of rescue effort, Nawaj managed to net the dog which was pulled up by other members of the rescue team. <br /><br />As soon as they let the dog loose, it ran to its freedom without turning back.
