A dog has miraculously survived after plunging around 70 feet into a quarry in Rossendale on Saturday.
The dog, named Wilson, was later transported to the Shuttleworth Veterinary Surgery for examination where his condition appeared to improve.
He was later transferred to a different vet's for overnight observations.
Wilson’s owner Faye Simpson said he is in a ‘stable condition’ and has been ‘very lucky so far’.
She said:
“I really cannot put in to words how grateful I am for the support that the team has given today."
“Wilson is in a stable condition, making slow improvements and miraculously the initial X-ray hasn’t highlighted any breaks or fractures." “He has some blood on the lungs and a bit of air surrounding them, but all in all after taking a 60 to 70 feet leap of faith he’s been very lucky so far." “Fingers and toes crossed he’ll make further improvements overnight.”
Pete Goble, team leader of the Rossendale and Pendle Mountain Rescue Team, said:
“We are glad that we could help. Wilson didn’t look too good when we arrived. He was very poorly."
