There are caring people in this world.

I don't think walling up the dog was intentional. The dog was probably denning up in this new little cave under the stairs. It was scared by the workers who came to fill in the hole. They probably never even checked in the hollow under the stairs, so they filled it in -and were on to the next project. Good for these guys to continue to find the answer to the dog noises.

Sometimes I'm amazed at how people on DU can jump to the worst conclusions -immediately! Life is usually not black and white -that includes politics (and dog stories). We should all check our knee jerks and tendency to "group think". Thanks for posting the heart warming video. I'm partial to yellow labs. That's what we have.

that puppy dog was able to get out from that death trap, it went to the rescuers and it's tail was a wagging and it licked the hands of those that helped, now I ask where are the men or woman that did this to this wonderful creature, and have them brought up on animal cruelty, they knew

Congratulations for those that did what they did-----------------and this message should be sent to them , they need to get a big group hug and the a big thumbs up from the world

keep popping up in my mind?

Awful post title but a nice ending.
