Volunteers were called out last night to rescue a dog from a shakehole.
The incident happened on moorland near Stalling Busk in Raydale.
Members of Swaledale Mountain Rescue Team (SMRT) were asked to help by North Yorkshire Police.
An SMRT spokesperson said: “A small team was quickly dispatched and Sarna, the cocker spaniel was found and brought to the surface.
“A team member (and ex-vet) checked her over and she was thankfully unhurt by her ordeal.”
