I just heard this dog's story

Indy the German Shepherd Dog

My name is Mark, I am the owner of "Indy" the German Shepherd Dog. Indy is now 10 and 1/2 years old, a very robust male, pure blood atypical German Shepherd Dog.

On February 1st, 2023, while visiting a recreation spot for rent; Indy suffered a catastrophic Injury upon falling into an abandoned cesspit on the property. The "pit" was over 50 feet deep, later measured by rescue personnel at 52 feet in depth.

Professional and Fire Department rescue people were able to hoist Indy out of the "pit" over 5 hours later. Indy was rushed to an emergency room for immediate care, surgery and treatment for shock and injury. Within 18 hours of rescue, Indy was moved to a Specialty Hospital for neurological and advanced wound treatment and additional care.

After 10 weeks of multiple surgeries, infection debridement, infection control, tests and specialists from U.C. Davis: Indy was stable enough to come home for continued Therapy and Home Medical Care. He could not walk upon his arrival home.

Indy has been in constant therapy every other day, daily medications, and special diet for his recovery and care. A wheelchair and braces have helped him learn how to walk with his injury and he recently was able to "bunny hop" run on his own.

1. Best Wishes to a True Survivor!

That is quite a story. I can vouch for only a small part after having spent hours on multiple occasions hanging precariously over my father-in-law's septic pit during repair operations, to my horror.
