Brooklyn the dog pulled alive from wombat hole at Nowra after three days underground

A dog missing for three days underground on the New South Wales South Coast has been pulled out alive.
Late on Friday night, the Shoalhaven community kept digging for the American Bulldog after emergency services had given up.
Just after 10:30pm Brooklyn was reunited with his owner, Charlie Griffith, before being taken to a veterinarian for treatment.
Brooklyn chased a wombat down a burrow along the Bens Walk bush track at Nowra on Wednesday, and could be heard barking and whimpering around seven metres underground.
Crews from Wildlife Rescue South Coast, New South Wales Fire and Rescue and NSW Ambulance Rescue used shovels, crowbars and a jackhammer to try and free the dog in the days earlier.
A $30,000 optic fibre camera and sensitive sound equipment was also unsuccessfully used to try and locate the dog in the network of wombat tunnels.
On Friday afternoon, Shoalhaven Fire Station officer, Ian Walters said the operation had to be called off as there was no longer signs the dog was alive.
