Rick and his colleague Gerry Keene helped rescue the dog and get her out of the cave by packing her into a duffel bag.

They lifted her up a 500-foot vertical climb, hand-to-hand, all the way to the surface.

The dog was happy to be outside. It was evident that she was grateful for the help and easily made contact.

When the group left the cave, they began searching for the owner and found her. It turned out that the dog’s name was Abby, and she went missing back in June.

There was no news from the dog for two months, and it is not clear how long she spent in the cave.

It was amazing that she was able to survive. Nearby, there was water with fish and crayfish, which Abby probably fed on. Moreover, she was in complete darkness.

She was happy to return to her family and finally be home.
