In Brief:

Patrick received a phone call from the owners of Ruby, a young sheltie dog that had gone missing after being exercised on Stowes hill, Caradon. The dog was last seen around a fenced area with a known open shaft within, at around 09:50 the previous day.

The three of us made are way to the area with the incident logged with the Police through DCRO. The shat was rigged and Lionel descended the shaft into the open stoped area where the dog was discovered around 150ft below surface. Patrick was second down, and the dog was placed into a "Dumpy Bag", and hauled back to the surface by Big Dave. Ruby was found to have only a few muddy marks, but well shaken up. After a visit to the vets, Ruby was given anti biotic and pain killers, and was expected to make a full recovery.
