MOHAVE COUNTY, Ariz. — A rescue crew successfully extracted a dog that had fallen about 100 feet down a mine shaft in Arizona on Monday.
The Mohave County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue team reported getting a call at about 1:30 p.m. from a woman who had been out exploring a mining claim near Van Deeman Mine, located west of White Hills.
The woman's 9-year-old dog, Hailey, had reportedly fallen down a mine shaft and was still showing signs of movement. A rescue team responded to the area and utilized a rope system to allow a crew member to rappel to the bottom where Hailey was located.
The dog was fastened to a harness and was safely extracted from the mine along with the rescuer. MCSO said Hailey did not appear to be harmed.
The search and rescue organization advised residents not to explore old mine shafts in the area.

*I’m sorry that I did something really stupid.
Obligatory:
“Lassie, what is it girl?”
“Timmy fell down the mine shaft?”
“Not Timmy this time?”
“Another dog?”
I’ve done quite a bit of exploring around old mines in AZ. They are dangerous. You need to keep a distance from any mine shaft. Thoroughly enjoyed it though. So much history.
That shaft is a big mother [SHUT YO MOUTH!]
“DID YOU DO THAT?????” look.
In a world often full of horrible events, this is a good thing. It warms the heart.
Trapped in a mine, no food to eat
And the only ones left to tell the tail,
Were Rex, and Spot and me
Plenty of danger here in The foothills of the Sierra from minesndignduri g the Gold Rush
You stole my post!
But, am WELL aware that it’s not just dogs that do STUPID stuff!
A group of us used to go mineral collecting in mines in southern Arizona back in the 80s and 90s, but I haven’t been underground much since then.
Gee - if only the stupid owner had kept her mutt on a leash.....
Hope she gets billed.

Exactly what it looked like to me.
Timothy, I really didn’t like that song.
It’s MOUF 😆😂
What about all the miners found at the bottom?....
