A border collie in Chiefland was trapped in a 10-foot sinkhole from 5 a.m. until neighbors, a concrete contractor, firefighters, and county road crews dug her out. The contractor brought a mini excavator. When the hole was open enough, the dog jumped into her owners' arms.
The rescue was a pile of ordinary tools and people who stayed. No one agency did it alone.
