Initially, he thought the soft barking and whimpering were from a neighbor&#8217;s yard. However, after listening closely one day, he realized the noises originated from below his home. Jenna George, executive director of Longview Animal Care and Adoption Center, noted that when animal control officer Bobby Jumper arrived and checked under the house\u2014a rental property\u2014he found an empty water well with a white and brown basset hound mix at the bottom. The dog was excited to see Jumper.<\/p>\n<p>Neither the tenant nor his landlord knew about the well&#8217;s existence. It took three hours for firefighters and rescue workers to pull the dog out of the 12-foot-deep hole using a makeshift sling made of webbing and rope. Jumper remarked on how successful their efforts were despite challenging conditions; they managed to lift &#8220;Timmy,&#8221; as they named him after a character from &#8220;Lassie,&#8221; without any serious injuries aside from minor cuts and an inflamed ear.<\/p>\n<p>After being rescued, Timmy was given food and water before being taken to an animal shelter where staff discovered he had likely been trapped for several days without identification or a microchip. The shelter shared Timmy\u2019s story on Facebook, leading to his adoption by a woman in Dallas who fell in love with him upon seeing his picture.
