July 17 (UPI) -- Firefighters in North Carolina came to the rescue of an unlucky donkey that fell down a sinkhole and couldn't climb back out.
The Wake Forest Fire Department said in a Facebook post that Engine 4 and Ladder 1 crews responded alongside Raleigh Urban Search and Rescue and the Brassfield Volunteer Fire Department when the donkey was found trapped in a Granville County sinkhole.
"Crews from all agencies worked together to create a lifting system to pull the donkey out of the hole," the post said.
The donkey, named Dora, was hoisted to safety. Firefighters said the animal was not injured.
