Wade Deisman thought his neighbour got a new puppy.

Little did he know, at the time, that he would soon be involved in a rescue mission.

Deisman, who recently moved to White Rock from Abbotsford where he owned a hobby farm, was accustomed to the sound animals nearby.

But even still, the constant bark was starting to get on his nerves.

In an interview with Peace Arch News on Sunday, Deisman said he went outside of his house on Friday to figure out where the bark was coming from. He checked his neighbours yard.

91裸聊视频淏ut I couldn91裸聊视频檛 see where they put the kennel,91裸聊视频� Deisman said.

Saturday morning came, and Deisman could still hear the dog barking.

91裸聊视频淚 remember thinking to myself, jeez, the neighbours, even if they have a puppy, they need to take better care of the puppy. The puppy sounds miserable.91裸聊视频�

Deisman went outside to investigate again, but wasn91裸聊视频檛 able to locate the puppy. While he was outside, the barking went silent. Deisman went back into his house, and later that day, the barking returned.

91裸聊视频淚 decided to be a little bit bolder in terms of looking at my neighbours yard. I couldn91裸聊视频檛 see a puppy anywhere, and I really thought it was a puppy at this point,91裸聊视频� Deisman said.

However, while he was outside, this time, the dog barked.

91裸聊视频淚 was like hey, that91裸聊视频檚 not coming from the neighbours91裸聊视频� that sounded like it was actually coming from my house,91裸聊视频� Deisman said. 91裸聊视频淭hat91裸聊视频檚 really weird.91裸聊视频�

Deisman went to his backyard deck and the dog barked a second time.

91裸聊视频淪hivers went right through me,91裸聊视频� Deisman said. 91裸聊视频淭hat came from right beneath me.91裸聊视频�

Almost immediately, Deisman said he felt a wave of adrenaline.

91裸聊视频淭his is a different situation than I thought it was. Suddenly, I thought this may not be a case of a puppy next door, this may be a case of a dog trapped.91裸聊视频�

Deisman crawled underneath his deck to look for the dog.

91裸聊视频淚 couldn91裸聊视频檛 see anything. There91裸聊视频檚 no dog trapped here or anything.91裸聊视频�

Underneath his deck, there was a little enclosure at the top of a muddy climb. Deisman tried to get to the enclosure, but it was a tight fit.

91裸聊视频淚 was on my belly, literally dragging myself up to see.91裸聊视频�

In a panic, Deisman got a shovel and dug his way to the enclosure.

91裸聊视频淚 spent like 15 minutes making enough of a pathway,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淎nd then I tried to climb up there again and I almost got stuck. So I backed off and told myself to calm down.91裸聊视频�

He eventually grabbed a crowbar.

91裸聊视频淚 pried off one long deck piece and I could see that there was an enclosure there and it was quite deep. And it91裸聊视频檚 a well.91裸聊视频�

But still, Deisman couldn91裸聊视频檛 see a dog.

91裸聊视频淪o I took off three or four more. And finally I can see just some fur of the dog, but it was pretty dark. I just turned on my flashlight on my iPhone and looked down there and there91裸聊视频檚 the dog.91裸聊视频�

Deisman said the dog was inside a well that was about four-feet deep. The deck joists prevented Deisman from accessing the animal.

91裸聊视频淎t this point, honestly, I was feeling so worried and scared for the dog,91裸聊视频� he said, adding that he threw some chicken to the animal.

Deisman grabbed a saw and cut through the joists. He brought the animal, which wasn91裸聊视频檛 a puppy, rather a senior cairn terrier, into his house.

The dog91裸聊视频檚 tag had a City of White Rock identification number, but no other details that might help him locate the owner.

He checked Craigslist.

91裸聊视频淭he second entry on Craigslist, White Rock Dog Missing. I pulled it up, and sure enough, that was the dog. There was a picture right there.91裸聊视频�

Deisman called the owners, Tim and Yvonne Everson, and told him he located their dog.

91裸聊视频淭hey both just broke into tears. I91裸聊视频檝e got a couple pictures of Tim with his head against the dog. Just snuggling right at that moment when they first saw each other,91裸聊视频� Deisman said

Diesman brought Tim and Yvonne to his backyard to show them where the dog was stuck.

91裸聊视频淭hey were just shocked.91裸聊视频�

Tim, who contacted Peace Arch News to share the story of the rescue, said it91裸聊视频檚 likely his 10-year-old cairn terrier, Callie, was either chased into the well by a raccoon or tried to catch a pest. Cairn terriers, he explained, are known to hunt rats.

Tim said Callie escaped their backyard on Thursday night at about 6 p.m. The dog was discovered 43 hours after she went missing. The Everson91裸聊视频檚 live in the same neighbourhood as Deisman.

91裸聊视频淗e phoned us yesterday afternoon around 2 and said I think I have your dog. And we just went nuts. It was great,91裸聊视频� Tim said.

The Everson91裸聊视频檚 offered Deisman reward, but he declined.

91裸聊视频淚 told them I91裸聊视频檝e been so happy to be living in White Rock and I met so many nice people. I91裸聊视频檓 just honoured to be part of the neighbourhood. So, just a Good Samaritan act by a neighbour,91裸聊视频� Deisman said.
