Early today, I posted a tale of an Illinois puppy that survived repeated mashings of a trash compactor. Now here's a story from the Orlando Sentinel about another lucky dog.
Sophia and friend Holly Tweed
Sophia the dachshund had been missing from the Surgine family's farm outside Clermont for three days when one morning, Angela Surgine heard a moan. From underground.
It turns out her pooch had fallen 16 feet to the bottom of a gopher tortoise hole. Sophia had been lying there for days without food or water.
