Dog in Cwmtillery hole saved with thermal-camera drone

A dog trapped down a mountain hole after being missing five days was rescued following a drone search.

Chihuahua-cross Cherry, five, went missing on a walk and was found after a thermal-imaging camera scanned the area above Cwmtillery, Blaenau Gwent.

Her owners enlisted the help of Cwmbran-based aviation firm Resource Group to look for their missing pet.

The thermal-imagining camera detected Cherry and an old mining tunnel was used to rescue her.
