Lucky the horse lived up to her name when she was rescued after falling Feb. 21 into a sinkhole in the backyard of a home in Lake View Terrace, about 25 miles north of Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Fire Department and city animal rescue crews spent about three hours slowly removing dirt from around the 1,200-pound horse, which was buried up to its neck when rescuers arrived at about 12:30 p.m.
