For five days, the dog Liza was stuck in a narrow crevice in a national park in the US state of New York - now she has been rescued unharmed.
The twelve-year-old animal survived the days in Minnewaska State Park Preserve without food and water, the state parks said on Wednesday.
On October 7th, a woman hiked with her dog and the animal fell into the gap.
You heard the barking.
Park employees tried to contact the site in the following days.
Finally, on Tuesday, helpers from the Ulster County Animal Welfare Association and a cave rescue team managed to rescue the bitch from the narrow crevice.
Hungry and thirsty
Two rescue workers observed Liza with a camera.
Then they managed to reach the bitch with the help of an interception rod with a noose.
The animal had been raised so far that it could be put in a backpack and then brought to the surface in safety.
Liza is hungry and thirsty, but in good health.
It was later brought to its owner.
During the observation with the camera it was seen how the bitch licked the damp walls of the crevice and thus probably supplied herself with liquid.
According to the administration, leash is compulsory in the park.
