A call came to the firefighters in Diamond Jubilee Wood in Normanton Le Heath, Leicestershire, about a poor dog that had been stuck for about sixty hours underground in a badgers’ sett.

Thankfully, the dog was found, but they needed some help in digging. They got some resources for that. Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service shared some photos of the dog with only his head out of the dirt!

Fortunately, the dog was finally freed after hours of digging. However, the dog returned to his owner, and he was generally healthy! What a happy ending!
