The walls of the silo, three meters high, prevented Milo from getting out, so town residents helped animal control officers wrap a rope around the dog and haul him to safety, the shelter said.
Lost Paws LLC, a local animal search service, noticed a message on January 8 from a family in a nearby town looking for a dog closely resembling the one they rescued from the silo, and the service helped the shelter find Milo’s family.
On his return, Milo, who had lost 33 pounds and survived the freezing cold, quickly recognized his family, and “a lot of tears were shed by everyone,” the animal shelter stated in the Facebook post.
