 The first member of their party started down into the funnel-shaped cave and spotted something unusual. It was that dog. The cavers improvised a dog harness from a tarp and webbing, and then they rigged up a system to haul that dog out. Now get this, they had to use a piece of salami to gain the animal's trust. Then they all worked together over the course of about three hours to get the dog back to the surface. The Giles County Animal Shelter says the dog had no broken bones, and by yesterday was up and moving again.
