Cavers rescue dog 500 feet underground that had been missing in US for two MONTHS: Mixed-breed poodle Abby was too weak to wag her tail or even w

"A poodle trapped 500 feet below ground for two months was miraculously returned to her owner after a group of cavers happened upon her while exploring.

Owner Jeff Bohnert from Perryville, Missouri never thought he would see mixed-breed poodle Abby, 13, again after she went missing on June 9.

But when experienced cavers Gerry Keene and Rick Haley took a group into the bowels of the Tom Moore caves south of St Louis, they found an unexpected dweller.

Abby was skinny, covered in dirt and curled up on the mud floor when they found her last week.

She was so frail that she could not wag her tail or even whimper, Haley said."
