A bull was rescued after falling into a 50-foot-deep well in the village of Arewadi, central India, on July 16.
Footage shows the rescuers tying the trapped animal with ropes and hauling it up, with the help of a crane.
Residents of the village had previously tried to lift the bull out with no success, and the bull attacked people who climbed down to rescue it.
A team of rescuers led by Dr. Rakesh Chittora went to the village and started the six-hour recovery operation.
Dr. Rakesh Chittora, Senior Veterinary in Animal Rahat, said: “We took its body temperature, which was normal, but the bull was under stress, so we immediately administered an anti-stress injection. He was dehydrated as well, so saline was administered. Multivitamins and painkillers were also administered.
"Then bull was examined for any lameness or fractured bones, but fortunately after one hour of rest, the owner took his bull home."
