FRESNO, CA -- A puppy named Timmy is recovering after he was rescued from a well in Fresno on Tuesday. The 6-week-old German Shepherd fell about 50 feet.



Firefighters safely got Timmy out of the 8-inch hole by lowering a knotted rope into it, looping the puppy's legs and torso and pulling him up.



Timmy is OK and the opening to the well has been sealed.
