same thing hapened to me years ago when i was only a kid.The sump in the man hole was full of water an i could hear the wee dog splashing about but he could not get out, ran home for my old man an a shovel and bar to lift the lid.We got the lid open a few inches enough to see the wee fella still swiming round in circles an my old man got his hands under the lid whilst i tried to raise it with the bar the bar slipped an trapped my dad by both hands and no way i could lift it.After about five mins who should pass on the road below but old plod who notices me crying me old man head down arse up and decides to investigate futher,The two coppers take a look and decide its a fire brigade job all the while my old lads effin and the we dogs getting more desperate Five mjns later the brigade arives lights and sirens blazing and out jumps one of the lads a regular hunting buddy of me dads ,In no time the lids off me old mans released an the we dogs lifted soaked and worn out from his ordeal. I got some stick of me dad but only half as much as he got from his mates when they found out

Good to hear you got your dog back. Same type of thing happened me a few years past only it was a hound I lost. We ran two foxs out of cover my lurcher got the first one and the second 1 headed for the motorway hound in pursuit. It hit a massive concrete pipe about 3 ft diameter running straight across the motorway. I crawled into it after the hound and came out the other side. Threw all the noise of the traffic I couldn't hear my hound tonguing, something told me to go up on the road. When I did the first thing I saw was the fox at the opposite side from were I'd came from, he had backtracked over the top of the road without a problem, unfortunately my hound bitch wasn't as lucky. Just one of those things I suppose. Atb
