It is never easy to see an animal in pain or suffering but this one was on the brink of death when she was found. Luckily for her, the locals called the right group of people to save her.

This precious girl fell into a deep well and quickly became exhausted trying on her own to escape. Holding onto a ledge that she just couldn’t keep a grip of, she was forced to swim around in the water at the bottom for hours until she was finally rescued. She was rescued by the group Animal Aid Unlimited, India. They work hard to save the lives of street animals that go without homes in India, many are ill and injured.

Her paws were bloody from trying to hold onto the sides of the walls and she was terrified but as you will see in the video, she was clearly happy to finally be getting out of the well. She was terrified, to say the least, and rescuers had to work quickly to get to the top of the well. People who save lives like this are truly inspirational.

The description for this video that AAUI posted online goes as follows:

We got a call to rescue a dog fighting for her life after falling into a deep well. She may have been swimming for hours before a villager saw her and called our helpline. She was quickly losing her strength and could barely hold on to the sides of the well.
