A Colorado family is singing the praises of the firefighters who worked tirelessly to rescue Bailey, a five-year-old Pit Bull from an abandoned mine shaft. Eric Storrs was running with Bailey through unfamiliar terrain when the dog ran over a ridge and simply disappeared. When he realized what happened, he called for help:

Two rescuers were lowered into the mine, where they were able to find Bailey and bring her back to safety.
