Original Story:
Crews have been in Pittston Township since early this morning after they learned a dog was stuck several feet underground.
The old mining land that has tunnels and holes, the area where the dog is is not technically a mine shaft.
The police chief in Pittston Township says that this effort has been underway since before last night's storms, but those storms are part of the reason why this dog is difficult to rescue.
