A lucky cat was rescued by firefighters after falling 100ft (30m) down a mineshaft in Cornwall – and it was all thanks to a quick-thinking dog.
After six days of searching, Mowgli’s owner Michele Rose said she had “almost given up hope” of finding her missing pet.
But she said she saw her dog Daisy “going berserk”, running in and out of woods near their home in Harrowbarrow.
Daisy’s intervention led to the rescue of her feline friend, Ms Rose said.

Stories like this prompt two reactions on my part:
1) It’s good practice for a child rescue; and
2) What was done to prevent a child from falling in the same hole?
Inquiring minds want to know.
