Info from Licensor: "Our mini dachshund Fred went missing on Friday 01/09/2023 at our family home which is on 11 acres of land, three of our dachshunds went into the forest to play and only two came home. After two days of searching above ground for our missing dog, we realised that he must be somewhere below ground. With a team of twenty-plus family members and friends, we managed to locate our lost dachshund six feet underground, still alive and trapped! Initially, we could hear a faint bark and howl which we confirmed was our lost pup with the use of a drain camera and stethoscope held to the ground. After three hours of carefully digging in hot weather, we managed to get Fred out safe and sound. Our dad was determined to find his dog and never gave up, not sleeping for days figuring out where his best friend had disappeared to. A happy ending for all involved, we are so happy to have our family member back home."
