When his pet dog Gracie went missing in bleak weather in the Peak District, her owner called in specialist search teams and drones to find her. But while the experts could find no sign of the eight-year-old black labrador, a heroic little pooch came to the rescue.
Cocker collie cross Lottie sniffed out Gracie at the bottom of a five-metre hole, where the human search party would never have found her. Gracie had been on a walk on marshland near Kinder Scout when owner Guy Beggs, 41, lost sight of her during poor weather conditions. The dog had plunged down a hidden pothole just yards from the track they were walking along. In desperation, Guy put out an appeal on social media, which sparked a full-scale search and rescue mission involving helpers from as far as Manchester, Bolton and Leeds.
