"I saw which way he ran. I saw the hole. I lifted the piece of wood that was over it. I saw him, freaked out, called 9-1-1,” Kemper Dorsey, the dog's owner, said.
The dog fell into the well Tuesday morning. It was rescued shortly before 1 p.m.
"We were dealing with a potentially unstable old brick well approximately 35-40 feet deep. So we had to get down in there and luckily the dog was friendly,” Norfolk Technical Rescue Chief Robert Spurr said.
