Kent Fire and Rescue Service was called to reports of a dog stuck at the bottom of a deep sink hole in Farningham Woods, Dartford.

The animal rescue unit was sent to the scene, as well as the technical rescue unit and a line rescue crew. The RSPCA also attended. 

Firefighters used line rescue equipment to lower themselves into the hole and retrieve the dog safely. 

If you own a pet, always make sure to keep tabs on them when out and about, and if they do get into trouble and need rescuing from height or depth, don’t try to do it yourself. If it’s an emergency, call 999 for help.
