Rescue efforts are under way to save a dog after it fell into Kimberley’s Big Hole, according to reports.

Die Burger reported on Friday that the dog has been stuck in the hole since last Friday.

ER24 has teamed up with the SAPS, De Beers and the Sol Plaatjies fire department to save the dog.

ER24 spokesperson Christo Venter told News24 that initial attempts to rescue the dog had failed, because the area around the hole was unstable and the ropes they had were too short.

“It is about a 200m drop to the water and we are not sure how the dog landed in the water.”
