    Six days underground in the cold, with no food or drink but Billy, the 13-year-old Fox Terrier who was trapped in a tunnel under the Burgundy Canal in France, made it. A story with a happy ending, however, full of controversy and some twists.




    The dog was trapped last Wednesday in the tunnel near the town of Saint-Usage, in the Côte-d'Or, completely by accident. As often do our four-legged friends who out of curiosity slip everywhere. Its owner immediately alerted the fire brigade for the rescue. But already from the first intervention, the firefighters understood that the conditions were not ideal for the success of the operation.

    As soon as the rescue began, in fact, one of the divers was stuck in the tunnel, then the police intervened and even, the speleologists who in vain, tried to locate the dog.

    After several unsuccessful attempts, the local prefecture had issued the precise order to give up because the operation was too risky for the rescuers. A decision that the animal rights activists and some local media did not like, so much so that on social media, a real battle had begun to save Billy.

    Look how tight the tunnel was:

     At that point, the prefect had taken a step back, explaining that he had not, however, prohibited 'voluntary intervention by speleologists'.

    Thus began a task force, between divers, speleologists and above all volunteers, the VNF service had lowered the water level of the canal by about 20 centimeters, thus facilitating the rescue of Billy.

    After digging a tunnel, Billy was rescued and ran into his owner's arms. The vets assure that he is fine and the fear passed, he will be able to go back to life as always.
