An 7-week old deaf puppy melted hearts across the globe Saturday when she was pulled from a 50-foot hole in Alabama after a harrowing 30-hour rescue.
Rescue workers and volunteers from across the Huntsville region poured in to save Toffee, a black-and-white calico canine, after she somehow slipped into an inches-wide crevice in a wooded area around 5 p.m. Thursday.
“Y’all this is a miracle,” Toffee’s foster mom told the local TV station, WHNT News19, as she cradled the fatigued floppy-eared pup in her arms. “So many people have been sending me texts saying they’re praying. I’m just so thankful to everybody that came.”
Rescuers worked through the night and all day Friday to fish Toffee from the hole, as thousands watched the rescue on live-streaming videos posted by local TV stations.
Finally, around 12:20 a.m. Saturday, Toffee was pulled from the pit to a cheering crowd of rescue workers and onlookers.
