A tearful dog owner was caught on camera having a sweet reunion with his lost dog who went missing after it got trapped inside a foxhole.
49-year-old Alan Whitton from Essex, England, broke into tears as he finally laid his hands on his Jack Russel after the pooch went missing.
As Alan explained, he was out walking with Mitzi when another dog chased the Jack Russel away. As Mitzi failed to return, Alan kept on searching for her for the rest of the day with no success.
On the next day, the Whitton family distributed leaflets about the missing dog and continued their search in the area where Alan and Mitzi walked on the day of her disappearance.
Fortunately, Alan soon received a call from a homeowner who said her dog had been showing interest in a foxhole near their house.
As the family went to investigate the foxhole, Mitzi responded to Alan’s calls with soft whines.
Following a 2-hour rescue operation, Mitzi was finally able to escape the foxhole and run straight into her owner’s arms.
In emotional pictures, Alan is seen shedding tears of happiness as he is reunited with his beloved pooch.
“I just broke down, I was overwhelmed with joy and disbelief, I had started to lose hope. It was like a Christmas miracle, all the time it felt like a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from. The first thing she did was smash her way through a Greggs vegan sausage roll,” the dog owner said.
After finishing her meal, Mitzi was taken to a local vet who confirmed that she was uninjured by the incident.
As for Alan, he decided to invest in a GPS collar to avoid similar incidents in the future.
