It was just a normal day on the construction site for a team of workers in 2012. In the center of London, the team was working on building a new skyscraper to add to the picturesque city landscape in Canary Wharf. As the workers were digging and drilling away, one of the men heard a quiet cry over the loud noise of the machinery. The man yelled at everyone to stop working and he noticed that the sound was coming from a large dark hole nearby on the site. All work came to a halt as the men looked one by one down the deep and black construction hole.
As they shined a light into the hole, they could barely make out what was inside deep below the ground. They saw a dark lump moving at the very bottom of the hole, and knew it was an animal in trouble. They quickly developed a rescue plan and began to carefully lift the creature out of the hole and brought it to the surface. In front of their eyes was some sort of unknown animal. They tried to make out what it was but no one had any idea. They finally decided that the shape of the animal was like a puppy. The team assumed that the young dog had ran away from home and somehow into the hole. The creature was covered head to toe in a thick mud that had dried all over its fur and created some sort of shell. The group of construction workers knew they had no time to spare, and quickly drove the animal to the nearby South Essex Wildlife Hospital, a charity hospital that is dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating wildlife.
Once the puppy finally made it to the hospital, the staff informed the team of workers that what they had discovered and rescued was not a puppy after all. Read on to find out what the “muddy puppy” really was!

A group of construction workers found an animal, which they assumed was a puppy, all alone in the bottom of a ditch in London. Not sure what to do or if there was any hope, they did everything in their power to dig the poor animal out from the deep hole. Using tools from their work site, they were able to bring the animal to surface. They noticed that the creature’s fur was covered in mud and they realized they had to get further help.
