VIDEO: Community rescues dog stuck in a wombat hole for 3 days

It took one huge effort and a community who came together to save this dog’s life.

Three-year-old American bulldog, Brooklyn, chased a wombat down a burrow along the Bens Walk bush track at Nowra and became trapped.

The 42 kilogram dog made national headlines after he became stuck down the wombat hole.

He was stuck there for three days before the official search was called off.

Crews from Wildlife Rescue South Coast, New South Wales Fire and Rescue and NSW Ambulance Rescue used shovels, crowbars and a jackhammer to try and free the dog in the days earlier.
