An Anderson, S.C., cocker spaniel emerged unhurt after falling down a 30-foot-deep well, its owner said.

Amanda Schronce and her family were working Friday to repair a home well when the 4-year-old dog, Reese, jumped on top of the well around 6:30 p.m. to get a look into the well house. Schronce told The Independent Mail the dog did it all the time.

But the well cover had been removed earlier, so Reese took a 30-foot dive into an unexpected doggy bath.

Schronce called 911. Firefighters, deputies and the Anderson Technical Rescue team arrived to fish Reese out, and the soaking wet pup was reunited with its owner in less than an hour. (UPI)

9m 깊이 우물로 추락한 개 멀쩡!

미국 사우스캐롤리나주에서 9m(30피트) 깊이의 우물 안으로 추락한 개가 아무 부상도 입지 않은 채 구조돼 화제다.

개 주인인 아만다 크론스는 지난 금요일(현지시각) 애완견 리즈가 늘 덮개가 씌워져 있던 우물 위에 습관적으로 뛰어들었는데 사고 당일엔 우물 보수 공사를 위해 그 덮개가 치워져 있어 사고를 당했다고 말했다.

리즈는 결국 깊은 우물 속으로 떨어졌고 크론스는 급히 구조대에 연락했다.

리즈는 구조작업 한 시간 만에 큰 부상 없이 주인과 상봉할 수 있었다.
