BP Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 UNDERWOOD, Minn. - A donkey is happily eating grass again after falling down a dry, abandoned well and being freed in an intensive rescue effort. It appeared that the animal wandered away from its farm and onto some boards covering the well, which broke, said Bruce Huseth, fire chief in this western Minnesota town. ADVERTISEMENT Firefighters quickly realized that the animal, which belongs to farmer Warren Gundberg, couldn't just be pulled from the abandoned well on Bryan Nelson's land. So they started pulling away earth with a tractor and dismantling the well block by block Thursday. Once one wall had been taken apart, firefighters put a harness around the donkey and guided it out with a rope. "Whatever it takes," Nelson said as he watched his well come down. "I love animals, and I'm just glad it's OK." Gundberg admonished the animal after the rescue: "I bet you'll think twice about doing that again. If you would have stayed home you wouldn't be in this trouble." Huseth said that he has rescued cows that have fallen through ice, but that the donkey was a first. link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
