WATCH NOW:

Animal Aid Unlimited in India received a call about a piglet that had fallen into a well.

With no way - and nowhere - to rest, the exhausted piglet's struggle was futile. Each second that ticked by was a second closer to drowning.

Animal Aid's rescue team wasted no time getting to the scene. They quickly harnessed a rescuer and lowered him into the well via rope, just as the piglet was starting to drown. The rescuer swam to the struggling piglet, scooped him up, and both were lifted to safety.
