My first idea was to build some sort of balloon/inflatable device that you drop into the hole. By affixing meat to the rope/hose, you can get the dog to climb on top of the balloon as it slowly inflates. Once you've got the dog out of the not-so-cylindrical bottom, you can deflate the balloon to the point of fitting the circumference of the hole. From here you carefully pull the dog up; making sure you stop if it's legs get caught/etc.

#32I love dogs, like everyone else, but isn't this all a little bit much? Shouldn't they be considering solutions for humanely euthanizing the dog so it doesn't have to die of thirst/starvation?
Argon gas would fit the bill. It's heavier than air, so it would sink to the bottom of the borehole, and it's widely available due to its' use as a shielding gas for welding. Most importantly, it would be humane and entirely painless for the dog-- far more humane than leaving the poor animal down there for days or weeks waiting to be rescued.

#33Put a noose on a rope with a remote camera. Grab the dog and pull.
Without a remote camera do the same but keep trying until you randomly catch it.

#34Fill the hole with water. Dogs swim/float.

If you want to humanize something most of us eat would you want that done to you? or would you want every effort made?
If you think dogs (and other such animals) are edible why would you object to just filling it in with dirt? You'd slit it's throat normally and cut it's flesh off it's body to eat but you won't suffocate it in 60 seconds by burial?
You need to pick a side.

#36Gradually fill the hole with rubber mulch. Better friction than something like gravel, lower risk of the dog "drowning".

"most of us" do not in fact eat dogs.

#39We need a small size intelligent being in order hold the puppy carefully and place it in a basket or sth like that.
Robots? Could work, but agents are usually designed to do a specific task. For saving a puppy from a deep norrow well, I don't know if there any robot exists. Anyway, we dont need to call this an "engineering problem". It's rather a biology problem.
Scientifically proven that mature animals have instinct to save the youngsters. I would release down a basket with another dog in it. When it reach the bottom, the mature dog will hold the puppy from the neck, and place it into the basket with itself. So I could bring them all the way up. A small size monkey could work to. We may need a very small training for the saver animal tough, to mitigate the risk of loosing both.

Dogs, lambs, pigs, veal, cows etc. do I really need to spell it out?
Yes I know Muslims, a big part of the population won't eat dog or pork etc. But not because they are considered purer, but they are considered impure.
Vegetarians/vegan are a minority for now.
