How did Abby survive?
This is the incredible story of Abby, the dog missing for 2 months and found alive in an underground cave. All this time the sweet little dog managed to survive underground, at 150 meters, until the rescuers, not without some difficulty, were able to bring him back to his master, happy to finally hug him!
Abby is a 13-year-old dog who disappeared into thin air on June 9th. She was playing outside the house off the leash with Summer, the other family dog. While Summer she came home, Abby never saw her again. Jeff Bonhert, their owner, was desperate.
Abby is very attached to Summer, so I knew something was wrong when she didn’t come back.
The man immediately realized that something had happened, because the two dogs were inseparable. Like this Jeff Bonhert he searched all over for Abby and failed. But he never lost hope of seeing her again someday.
Two months later the speleologist Gerry Keene he was exploring Tom Moore’s cave, in Perryville, Missouri, more than 150 meters underground, when suddenly he was faced with a dog. It was Abby, still alive, but malnourished and at the end of her strength.
I realized it would be difficult to take her out because she was too weak to walk.
So the man returned to the surface, asking for help from Rick Haley, assistant fire chief and caving enthusiast with 30 years of experience.
Dog missing for 2 months found alive in a cave: Abby’s rescue
The couple returned to the caves to save the dog. They put Abby in a duffel bag, because getting around in there was not easy, due to tunnels and vertical climbs. But Abby never protested.
Eventually, thanks to a photo of the dog in the cave, the cavers managed to knock on the right door. Jeff was speechless with joy.
