Animal rescuers in Arizona explained that a Phoenix resident contacted the organisation on Tuesday (17.08.21) to report a goat crying underground after a large storm swept through the area.

Rescuers were unable to determine where in the 250-foot pipe the goat was located and returned the following day by attempting to use a snake camera to locate the animal, but were still unable to find the creature.

Arizona Humane Society medical technician Gracie Watts said: "We could not lay eyes on the goat at all, we never saw him before we started chipping away.

"We just kind of went by faith as to where we thought he was."

The rescuers revealed that it took three hours of digging and breaking through the pipe before they found the goat.

Medical technician Andy Gallo said: "We were never going to quit, but you get to that point where you start telling yourself that this isn't going to happen.

"He would've drowned down there if we left him."
