Watch Rescuers Dig to Save a Terrier Who'd Been Buried Underground for 56 Hours



Flossie had traveled down a rabbit hole and gotten stuck for more than two days before rescuers pried her out.

A terrier who was stuck underground for 56 hours miraculously survived the frightening ordeal before she was pried from the earth in a dramatic rescue video.


Flossie the terrier disappeared April 25, according to a TikTok posted by her owner Poppy Vernon. It shows someone digging a rather deep hole as voices call out for the dog. They assumed the 9-year-old pup had gotten stuck in a rabbit hole in the area she likes to explore outside her Devon, England home.



The problem: Hundreds of rabbit holes surround their home. They called down the holes for hours, even employing underground cameras. Their search lasted through the night, and a group of tracking dogs couldn't even find Flossie after hours of looking.

Remarkably, Poppy says about five hours later a neighbor heard a "tiny bark" coming from underneath a bush. The search dogs came back, and this time they found Flossie.




In the video, a green-shirted man, Tom Leary, leans down into the hole with both arms outstretched. Finally, we see Flossie's small head deep in the hole as Leary chisels away at the hole's wall. After that, he's able to finally extract her from her underground prison.
