The first responder grabbed the dog and buckled her to himself while other team members hoisted them out of the well. 

In less than 30 minutes, the animal was safe and above ground. 

The team ended up naming the puppy "Snow" "for her snow-white fur and for how brave and cooperative she was throughout the rescue."

After the recovery, officials plugged and secured the well to prevent further incidents.
