The brave dog’s determined effort to escape the well, cling to the rope, overcome the slippery obstacle and finally achieve freedom

This brave little dog is the living proof that if at first you don’t succeed try, try and try again.

The sandy coloured pet was at the centre of a dramatic rescue mission after plunging down a deep well.

The intelligent pooch repeatedly managed to grab hold of a rope and scramble up the brickwork, only to slip and fall as it neared the top.

A rescuer, desperate to retrieve the exhausted dog, shouted words of encouragement as time-and-time again it plunged back into the freezing water.

In total nine attempts failed, but the little dog and the emergency worker refused to give up hope.
