When a rescue team went by rope into the cave to rescue a dog stranded 40 feet down a narrow passage, they encountered something unimaginable and terrifying waiting for them. The Sevier County Technical Rope Rescue Team was called after a dog named Charlie fell through a narrow passage opening. However, the team was surprised to find a bear in the cave.
