abc.net.au/news/missing-dog-shanny-survives-in-iron-ore-dumper-red-dog-pilbara/102080670A Pilbara pup is being hailed as a miracle mutt after surviving days at the bottom of a bin where tens of thousands of tonnes of iron ore was being dumped.
Days later her owners received a phone call saying she had been found inside a dumper at a nearby Rio Tinto port facility where trains from inland mine sites dump iron ore before it is loaded on ships.Travis Burrows is part of Rio Tinto's emergency response team and was shocked to get a call saying a dog had been found stuck in the dumper."That's the first time I've heard of a dog falling down a dumper.
Each ore car can carry more than 100 tonnes of iron ore, meaning the dog managed to avoid more than 100,000 tonnes over two days.'Possibly where it went down, it got stuck somewhere and was able to not get hit by the ore, which is amazing."
