Dog's enforced diet gets him out of a hole

A dog was trapped underground in a rabbit warren for 25 days until he lost so much weight in his enforced diet that he was able to crawl out.

The well-fed Jack Russell called Jake was feared dead after he disappeared into the tunnel chasing a rabbit near Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire.

For nearly a month he was trapped until he lost an estimated quarter of his weight and was able to scramble out.



Grateful owner Jill Thomas, 52, said it was "incredible he survived".

Mrs Thomas said she and husband Rick were "so glad" to have the six-year-old home.

"He's a lot thinner but very happy."
