A few brave locals pulled a cow from a 40-foot deep pit in a Herculean rescue effort on March 30 in Fatehabad, North India. br br The cow was grazing near the pit which had been dug to build a community building when it wandered too close and fell in.br br A passerby heard the cow lowing from inside and a team of local men quickly assembled and started the rescue operation. br br The task was made difficult by the narrowness of the pit but they managed to lower inside a volunteer who placed a harness around the stricken animal. br br Then they used a crane to haul the cow to safety. br br The entire operation lasted about six hours.
