A 13-year-old blind dog was rescued by firefighters after it fell into a hole at a Californian building site.

The dog, named Cesar, fell into the hole that was 4.5 metres deep and about a metre-wide.

The dog's owner, Mary, said she had been alerted by the barking of her other dog.

When Cesar responded to the bark, Mary said she realised he was not in her yard. She then called local authorities who arrived at the scene within 10 minutes.

Firefighters in the city of Pasadena built a system of hooks and pulleys to lower one of their members into the hole to retrieve the dog, local TV reported.

The rescue operation took about 12 minutes.

Pasadena Fire Chief Chad Augustin said tight spaces such as the hole Cesar had fallen into make rescue operations challenging.

“There’s a lot of steps we need to do to make it as safe as possible, for not just the dog but also our rescuers,” Mr Augustin said.

Apart from a thick coat of construction dirt, Cesar appeared to be healthy and uninjured after he was rescued.

WHAT IS A BLACK HOLE?

1. Black holes are objects whose gravity is so strong not even light can escape their pull

2. They can be created when massive stars collapse under their own weight

3. Large black holes can also be formed when smaller ones collide and merge

4. The biggest black holes lurk at the centre of many galaxies, including our own

5. Astronomers believe that when the universe was very young, black holes affected how galaxies formed

How to wear a kandura

Dos

  • Wear the right fabric for the right season and occasion 
  • Always ask for the dress code if you don’t know
  • Wear a white kandura, white ghutra / shemagh (headwear) and black shoes for work 
  • Wear 100 per cent cotton under the kandura as most fabrics are polyester

Don’ts 

  • Wear hamdania for work, always wear a ghutra and agal 
  • Buy a kandura only based on how it feels; ask questions about the fabric and understand what you are buying
