Boy falls into well, finds his missing dog!
A story that started out scary ended on a happy note when a four year
old boy fell into a well in Mississippi. Gabe Allbritton survived when
he fell into a 20 ft. (six metres) deep well in his grandmother's garden
after he went to rescue his dog, Odie, who went missing about three days
earlier.
Gabe who heard the dog barking went to investigate, and fell into the
deep hole himself. Even the family did not know that the well was in the
garden as the surface had been covered with weeds. Rescuers were called
and Gabe and Odie were safely pulled out of the well. The boy was in the
well for around four hours before he could be pulled up.
Gabe suffered only a few bumps and bruises and is now back home after
a check-up at the hospital. They say everything happens for a reason and
perhaps Gabe's fall was to find his beloved dog! They have now been
happily reunited.
