A caving project became a rescue mission after a dog was found 500 feet down
After the project cavers found Abby,
they left a light for her while Gerry Keene went to get help to get the dog out.
Dogs don't usually dwell in caves, but sure enough, there was a dog curled up on the mud floor.
"She didn't look real good," Keene said.
"I mean, she had 11 people walk by her with lights and she just basically lifted her head, but she wouldn't move at all."
It was clear the dog was not in the right place, so Keene left the cave and started going to nearby houses with a photo of the dog to try and find its owner. Word got around and the dog's owner met Keene at the entrance to the cave and identified her as his dog Abby, who had been missing since June 9.
The owner was shocked to hear his dog was alive. Since Abby had been missing for so long, he told the rescuers that he assumed she was likely gone forever.
