Before the trooper attempted to rescue the dog he let the dog smell him so she would trust him and know he was there to help her.

The trooper was able to wrap a rope underneath the dogs front two legs and tighten it up. He tried pulling the dog out but she was not budging.

The dogs owner asked if it would help if he grabbed her front paws and they gave it another try.

That was exactly what was needed because as they both pulled the dog was able to be freed from the hole.
