Missing dog buried alive in human grave (Australia)
A missing dog has survived up to two weeks buried alive inside a human grave in country Victoria.
Billy the Jack Russell had been given up for dead by his owners after they had not seen their beloved pet in a fortnight.
However, a holidaying woman heard his barks for help from inside the tomb, near his home in Warrnambool, Victoria.
"I heard this woof, woof, woofing," Donna Cobbin-Agatic told The Herald Sun.
"Eventually I found a little crack in a grave and looked in and saw his little nose."
It is believed the plucky terrier chased a rabbit down a hole at the historic Tower Hill cemetery and became stuck when concrete caved in behind him.
Without food or water, the 2-year-old dog somehow managed to survive up to two weeks inside his makeshift tomb.
Ms Cobbin-Agatic, who was searching for the graves of her great-great-great grandparents, dribbled water through the crack to the starving and dehydrated Billy while rescue services prised the concrete open with crowbars.
Billy's relieved O'Sullivan family, including three boys aged seven and under, were relieved to have him back.
After almost two weeks of care, Billy's only remaining injury are some sore paws.
