Dickson then searched their property for signs of his dog. It was at this moment, two of his other dogs began going towards the well. Barking sounds could be heard coming deep down from the well. Understanding the seriousness of the situation, he quickly informed the Tualatin Valley firefighters.
The rescue team had a tough time pulling out the dog from the 30ft deep well. One of the rescuers went down the well using a rope and a tripod. After a great deal of effort, Calvin was finally taken out. He was handed over to his family and the dog seemed very happy.
