Incident report
A call went out for 10 members, along with cave rescue to help with a dog rescue at Eldon Quarry. When team members arrived on site information was passed that a 4 month old Golden Retriever puppy had strayed from the path on Eldon Hill and fell through the snow into a 20ft deep collapsed lead mine.
Team members setup a rope system to lower our Derbyshire cave rescue volunteer down the mine shaft. The puppy was bribed with dog treats to get in to a rope bag, she was then hauled to the surface and back into the day light.
After much fussing by team members the puppy was rewarded with yet more treats, a towel dry and plenty of fuss, she walked away seemingly unharmed for a check up.
The team then remembered that the team member we sent underground probably wanted hauling out of the mine also.
