Dog Rescued from Connecticut Quarry After Intense Three-Day Search

A collaborative effort involving drones, a rope team, and local volunteers led to the safe retrieval of a lost terrier mix named Rippy.

Rippy, a 30-pound terrier mix, fell into a quarry in North Canaan, CT, prompting a multi-day rescue operation.
Initial attempts to locate Rippy using drone thermal imaging were unsuccessful, highlighting the challenges of the terrain.
Rescue teams, including firefighters and rope specialists, were ultimately drawn to the site by Rippy's persistent barking.
Rippy was safely extracted from the quarry by a rope team after being trapped for three days.
The incident underscores the dangers quarries pose to animals and the importance of community and technical response in rescue efforts.
