Feral dog mysteriously falls. A touching and adrenaline-packed story.
A feral dog mysteriously falls over a retaining wall in Tokushima, Japan’s tenth largest city. Neighbors of this locality discovered a nervous Feral Dog mysteriously stuck on the edge of a retaining wall that surrounds the neighborhood. Nobody knew how the dog got there, but her restlessness alarmed them fearing she would jump or accidentally fall to her death.
Animal behavior experts speculated the Feral Dog was probably chasing some kind of animal in a wooded area above the retaining wall. She somehow accidentally slipped or miscalculated the edge, falling over and landing “safely” on an intermediate ledge. They also indicated the dog’s instinct would be to jump to the next ledge beneath her but could turn out to be an imminent death decision.
Soon enough local news reporters and Fire Department authorities arrived at the scene. They immediately began to conjure up a rescue plan to save the dog before her nervousness made her slip. Minutes turned into hours and hours into days. Soon the tragic incident turned into four complete days. Without any food or water to drink, her chances of survival faded minute by minute.
Firefighters tried everything to come close but nothing seemed to work. It was almost impossible to even come close.
Rescuers plan a decisive strategy and put it into action
Their last strategy was to quickly set up a net and place it just below the animal in case she fell or jumped while two rescuers rappelled downwards with handheld nets.
Two rescuers started the descent towards the frightened and tired dog. This was a decisive moment because this effort was her last chance of survival. From this point on it was a life-death situation.
The Feral Dog became so anxious with the all the action and movement going on that she obeyed her natural instincts and…
…fearlessly leaped into the void. The Town screamed and yelled in awe seeing the dog plummet.
Miraculously she hit the ledge beneath her and tumbled safely into the improvised net. She was safe!
The Feral Dog was quickly taken to the Tokushima Animal Welfare center for evaluation. Fortunately, the dog did not suffer any injuries during the fall. She only suffered minor bruises.
During the incident, close to 100 people called the Animal Welfare Center manifesting their desire to adopt this courageous dog. Sure enough, she found a loving forever family and what almost turned out to be her last day on earth turned into a long happy life.
