A man in Longview , Texas , heard a distant barking and whining sound from under his home.

He followed the sound of the barks, which led him to an empty old water well.

Rescuers dug around the baseboards of the home so they were able to shimmy underneath it, bringing with them a harness they created out of fire gear.

After three hours , they finally managed to hoist the fearful pup up to the surface.

The dog is believed to be unharmed.

The shelter posted about Timmy ’s rescue on Facebook and before long, someone from Dallas reached out to adopt him.

Timmy was adopted on Feb. 27 .

One of the firefighters from the rescue hoped to adopt Timmy , but he soon learned he couldn't because Timmy isn’t a fan of cats.
