You never know. You go spelunking one day - or maybe you explore caves, who knows? - and you wind up helping a poochie dog. A couple of weeks ago, Dave Jackson and Jesse Rochette, from Colorado, went to explore Giant Caverns in Giles County, western Virginia (not West Virginia.)
40 to 50 feet down below, someone spotted a dog, alive but needing help. Several experts at bringing the dog back up failed, and then Rochette, who says he's a "Dog guy," rapelled down and tempted the doggone dog with a piece of salami.
That worked. The dog went for the tube meat, and once fed, was wrapped up in space blankets, an old jacket they found in the cave, and taken to safety.
And then, with some rescue gear the explorers carried, they got the dawg to safety.
So remember, next time you're going under, make sure to stuff your pockets with salami!
And while we're on the subject of salami, did you know there is such a thing as a "salami cave"? The French invented it so they would have a place to hide their sausages and slice them when party time beckoned, or when someone gets the sausage cravin'.
The Maginot Line threw them for a loop, sure, but they got the sausage equipment like you've never seen before!
