Palma fire fighters have been hailed heroes by the Mallorcan animal loving community, for rescuing a dog who fell into a mine shaft. The incident occurred in the Son Vida area of Palma last Friday, September 27, at around midday. The dog, a Ratero Mallorquín, was being walked by its owner in the Pilar caves, in which there are several old mines, when it fell into the deep chamber of the shaft.
