Watch: Trapped dog rescued from nearly 30-foot mine shaft
June 3 (UPI) -- Firefighters in Australia came to the rescue of a wayward dog who found his way into a 26-foot-deep mine shaft. The Country Fire Authority in Victoria said a Labrador named Ted wandered off his owner's property with a Labradoodle named Penny on Thursday and the dog duo made their way to Pronk Track in Trentham. Penny was found Monday standing vigil next to the mine shaft that now contained her adoptive brother. "When we arrived, as you would expect, Penny was quite agitated, but luckily one of our firefighters knew the owners because they lived next door to them," Trentham Fire Brigade Capt. David Wheeldon said in a news release. The fire brigade summoned the owners of the dogs as well as the Country Fire Authority's Oscar 1 rescue crew. "Throughout the morning, we were providing Ted with plenty of food and water," David said. Firefighters descended into the mine shaft and were able to bring Ted back up to the surface level for a reunion with Penny and his owners about 2:53 p.m., the CFA said. The Trentham Fire Brigade and personnel from Forest Fire Management Victoria located a number of nearby mine shafts and secured them to prevent future incidents.

Residents rattled as police confirm shooting in Surrey neighbourhood early Sunday
Residents of a neighbourhood of Surrey say they've been left rattled by a shooting early Sunday that appeared to leave two bullet holes in a wrought iron fence in front of a mansion. Neighbours on Coulthard Road in Panorama Ridge said there were already safety concerns before the 3 a.m. shooting on Sunday because, days earlier, police had installed surveillance cameras mounted on a portable tower and parked a marked Surrey police SUV in front of the mansion. The surveillance camera and the unmanned SUV remained ay the house on Monday. Start your day with a roundup of B.C.-focused news and opinion.

'I can confirm that SPS is investigating a shooting in the Panorama Ridge neighbourhood. We will not comment on the location of any victims or witnesses due to privacy concerns,' Sgt. Tige Pollock said in an email. 'The matter is still under investigation. ' Surrey police did not answer follow-up questions about what prompted them to place the surveillance camera and SUV in front of the house. Postmedia was unable to reach the residents of the 7,000-square-foot home on Monday. A father walking his toddler in a stroller and his Labradoodle on Monday said he saw seven or eight police vehicles, and many officers swarming the property, the day before. There were about three or four dozen yellow, plastic evidence markers on the lawn outside the fence and two bullet holes, less than a metre apart, that had pierced the wrought iron fence. The father, who would only identify himself by his first name, Dalbir, said he hasn't heard anything official from the police about what happened, why they had installed the surveillance cameras and posted an unmanned police vehicle outside the property. 'It obviously didn't work,' he said. When he saw the police cars, he couldn't help but wonder: 'What's going on? Am I safe? Is my family safe? Is it safe to take my kid out for a walk?' He said the installation of the surveillance cameras and the presence of the police vehicle didn't make him feel any safer. 'If you're going to leave something out here as a statue, what good is it going to do?' he said. He said the lack of details about the shooting from police is worrying because he's not sure if it's because they don't want to alarm residents or because they don't know who's responsible. Another neighbour who didn't want to be identified said she saw police tow away at least five vehicles that had been on the property. They were later replaced by two Mercedes vans parked on the wide circular driveway, each bearing the name of a Surrey-based fashion business. Postmedia has left messages with the owner of the company. With files from Joseph Ruttle
