Trapped dog rescued from mineshaft by firefighters
Gizmo, a coarse-haired terrier, became stuck after chasing a rabbit down the 30ft shaft near Maidenwell, Cardinham. Retained firefighter Billy Daynes, of Bodmin Community Fire Station, plucked Gizmo to safety after he was lowered by ropes into the 5ft wide shaft at about 7.30pm.
The dog was trapped for an hour before being rescued.
Station officer Robbie Taylor said: "The dog was shaken but not stirred and his female owner was very grateful. All in all it was a very smooth operation."
