As Vadim Rustam, along with his wife and two younger siblings, passed the apartment near his home, he heard a faint barking coming from nearby. Although the sound was so small and almost unnoticed, Rustam believed it was coming from beneath the sidewalk.

Before that, at this location were the ruins, forming a concave pit into the ground. It was not until three weeks later that workers in the city came to repair and re-pave the bricks on the crater. However, it doesn’t end there…

When Rustam noticed a strange noise, he and his relatives went to the local authorities to report the incident. However, the answer they received was only a refusal, with the reason that this was “not a public business”. So Rustam decided to rescue the poor victim himself.

When he used a hammer to push the bricks up, he discovered a boulder blocking the crater. Digging out the dirt and rocks, he saw a dog trapped inside. Looks like this poor dog has been here for the past 2 days. And it’s also possible that he kept calling for help, but no one came to help until he met the Rustam family.

Even more surprising is that this dog is… pregnant! Rustam’s family, later, also brought this dog home to take care of.

The above story happened in the Rostov area of the Russian city of Voronezh at the end of September. Immediately after discovering the “secret” under the sidewalk, Vadim Rustam posted the entire rescue process video on Youtube.
