Dogs are smart, protective creatures with strong instincts and the ability to recognize the danger in humans or other animals.

Now, a dog is being regarded as a hero after saving another dog from a sinkhole in a scene straight out of Lassie: he discovered another dog trapped in a sinkhole and saved her life by ringing for help.

Wrigley, a chocolate Labrador dog, was strolling with his owner at Marilla Park in Streator, Illinois, according to Heart of Illinois ABC.

On the other side, Wrigley became aware of an issue.

He led his owner to a five-foot-deep sinkhole where a golden retriever had become stranded.

The owner called 911, and the fire department arrived on the scene and freed the trapped dog. Wrigley’s foresight saved her life: when no one else did, he recognized her after she had been gone for a day.

According to Streator Fire Chief Fred McClellan, “this dog went into a five-foot hole and has been gone for nearly 24 hours.”

The crew’s methodical rescue, which included traversing tough terrain to dig her out of the hole, was videotaped and shared on Facebook.

“Don’t stop me if you see me falling.” “The soil began to dissolve beneath my one foot, then I moved over the hole to grasp it, and it collapsed again,” McClellan recalled. “Luckily, my engineer Tim Redd was able to safely complete the process of removing the dog.”

Macy, the golden retriever, was safely rescued. The firefighters from Streator were honored for their efforts. Streator Animal Control also expressed gratitude to everyone who helped with the search.

Wrigley, on the other end, deserves a lot of credit for seeing Macy in the first place and rescuing them.

Online, Wrigley was lauded as a hero: “Wrigley, you are a hero!!” “What a nice ending!” commented one commenter.

“To the rescue, dog, and owner!” We are all really fortunate to live in such a kind community! Thank you to everybody who contributed to Macy’s rescue!” a different comment reads

After being rescued from the sinkhole, Macy was inspected by veterinarians and is now “doing wonderful and relaxing.”

Thank you for saving the day, Wrigley – I hope he gets a nice steak or bone as a present!
