Puppy rescued after two nights in disused mineshaft

A beagle pup that spent two nights at the bottom of a disused mineshaft has been hoisted to safety in a dramatic rescue.

Cliff rescue coastguard volunteers descended 100ft down the mineshaft to rescue the frightened pup, which evaded a previous rescue effort that brought three other dogs to safety.

The dog’s owner was lowered to the mineshaft to help catch the frightened puppy.
