Reportedly, Rajani Damodar Shetty, a homemaker who hails from Mumbai, has been living in Doddahitlu in Mangaluru for the past 24 years, since her marriage. On Thursday, January 30 she rescued a stray dog which had fallen into a 30-ft deep old well and the video of the same incident has gone viral on social media.

It is gathered that a group of men at Ballalbagh in the city tried for hours and failed to rescue a dog fallen into the well. Later they called Rajani to the spot.

“I have rescued stray animals and have been feeding them. But I have never taken such a huge risk in my life. However, on seeing the dog trapped in the well in 12 feet of water, I could not stop myself. I tied a rope to myself, entered the well and rescued the dog,” said Rajani.

The video shows Rajani handing inside the well with the help of a rope. The video further shows that people standing outside the well throw a rope inside and with that she ties it around the dog. People then pull up the rope attached to the dog and as soon as the dog is outside, it runs away.
