A real-life engineering problem.

In Turkey, a 3 months-old dog has fallen into a 70 m deep 30 cm wide hole and it's been there for 10 days. People and local government organizations are still trying to save the dog. It is still under 70m deep borehole in Istanbul.

According to tweets, local government branches of saving, rescuing, mining organizations are also trying to save the dog. They still need for more practical ideas.

Here are some information I gathered from tweets of Baris Sengun of Animal Rights Confederation.

Some info: the puppy is 3 months-old Kangal breed. They have considered to dig another hole in parallel. Since the soil is soft and muddy, they've been said it might cause landslide. The dog should't get weight but they normally get 1-1.5 kgs per week. So they feed it under control. They tried nets but it did not fit as it needs to.
