A dog, who got stuck down a 22-foot deep crevice on a mountain, has been saved following a huge rescue effort.
Reggie the spaniel fell down a crevice at Llwynypia Mountain in the Clydach forest shortly before 3pm on Tuesday, January 18, according to a friend of the owner.
The South Wales Fire and Rescue Service said it was called to the scene immediately but firefighters were unable to rescue the dog, despite assistance from cave rescuers.

During the rescue, food and drink was being sent to the dog. It was uncertain that the animal was receiving the packages due to his location being so difficult to pinpoint.
But a friend of the owner confirmed that Reggie was saved shortly before 1am on Thursday morning from a depth of 8.4 meters after the fire and rescue as well as the mountain rescue team had left.
Owner Leah Davies, who regularly posted about the incident on social media after Reggie's fall, shared the good news on Facebook.
"Reggie is Out!" she wrote.
"I can’t believe it and can’t thank everyone enough. The support and help has [been] absolutely amazing!"
