Missouri cavers rescue dog stranded for nearly two months

Cavers discovered Abby about 500ft below while exploring the Berome Moore cave system

Cavers in Missouri recently rescued a dog stranded hundreds of feet underground almost two months after the animal disappeared from her family's home.

A small group of cavers discovered Abby, a 13-year-old pet, while exploring the passages of the 18-mile Berome Moore cave system in Perry county on 6 August. They alerted the local fire department and members of the Cave Research Foundation at the surface of their discovery about 500ft below.
