Video captures puppies unbelievable rescue from cave

When the ‘Hope for Paws’ foundation was called to rescue three stray puppies they had no idea that they would make a much greater discovery.

The puppies, who were hiding out in a cave, had been abandoned by their mother so two local woman had been feeding them before they finally decided to call in the experts.

'Hope for Paws' founder Eldad Hagar and his team arrived on the scene and tried to lure the frightened puppies out with a cheeseburger. But when they grabbed the first one, the rest retreated deep into the cave in fear.

Determined to save the helpless creatures, Hagar crawled into a tight opening in the rocks where he was shocked to see there where many more puppies than he thought. Three were easier to rescue, but the rest of the litter was huddled deep in a back chamber.

“I had very, very little space but I was able to crawl in,” Hagar explained to the media. “I just had to feel around and grab for body parts, and once I had a tail, then I had the other rescuers pull me out by my legs with the dog.”

The excavation took over seven hours of hard work, but eventually all nine trembling puppies were free.
