Yorkie-Shitzu cross Ronny fell into a rabbit warren and couldn't get out
A West Lothian gran thought her dog had died after it was buried alive whilst out on a walk. Paula Dahl was out for a stroll with her beloved pet, Ronny, at Murieston Castle Dog Park in Livingston on Friday, March 10, when he scurried down a rabbit hole and got stuck under collapsing soil.
The 60-year-old described how she and her eight-year-old grandson watched in disbelief as Hazel took over the rescue. Paula said: "She had dislocated her knee but she just doped herself up on pain meds and assembled a team - she met us within the hour. Paula continued: "My eight-year-old grandson said it was the most intense thing he had ever seen, the experience was terrifying. We got him out just after 1pm and took him to the vet. Apart from having a scratch on his eye he was absolutely fine but I'm still in shock - I thought he was dead.
"Some of the earth was moved and Thor managed to confirm that Ronny was behind a caved-in channel. Ronny in turn managed to bark confirming he was stuck in the hole. The earth above and below was dug out gently by hand as it was very soft and at risk of caving in further."
