    BURIED ALIVE 

    One evening, Peanut the Dachshund-Terrier mix decided to chase after a skunk underneath his owner's deck and accidentally buried himself deep in the dirt. First responders tried everything they could to unearth the dog, but said that it was a lost cause. Christy and Keith Wolfram refused to believe that was true. Christy Wolfram grabbed a shovel and began to dig herself. After several hours, she still couldn't find him, but she did not give up. Finally, first responders saw a paw. They were able to rescue Peanut, who was barely moving, but still alive. Peanut was administered oxygen and was treated for hypothermia for two days. After a week and a half, she made a full recovery. (VPI)
