Owner 'broke down in tears' after finding missing dog down 15ft hole

A Labrador which got lost for 24 hours in the Peak District was eventually rescued after being found trapped down a 15ft hole - by another dog.

Eight-year-old Gracie was walking on marshland near Kinder Scout when her owner Guy Beggs, from Warrington, lost sight of her during poor weather conditions. Unbeknown to the 41-year-old, his beloved pet had plunged down a 4.5 metre pothole just yards away from the track they had been walking along on January 2.

Guy spent hours looking for the black Labrador even returning to his campsite to grab a torch before searching well into the night. In desperation, he put out an appeal on social media - which sparked a full-scale rescue mission joined by people from as far as Manchester, Bolton, and Leeds.
