Cocker spaniel saved from well in Benton SC

Last Friday evening Amanda Schronce and her family were repairing a well in their yard. The well had been boarded over up until then. Reese, their 4-year-old cocker spaniel, had often played near the well sometimes jumping on top of the boards. Well, Reese thought he was jumping on top of the boards but instead fell 30 feet down the well which had been uncovered during repairs.

Amanda called 911 for help. In less than an hour Anderson County deputies, Rock Springs firefighters, and Anderson Technical Rescue retrieved Reese who had been dog paddling since falling in.
