In Kentucky (Red River Gorge) a dog named Tyson (pit bull mix) toppled more than 170-feet down a cliff while chasing a lizard over the edge. He survived! The dog’s owner immediately called 911 and recruited some nearby hikers to help him search the area for the missing dog. Expecting the worst, the rescue team set out down the trail to make their way towards the base.
… While hiking in, they bumped into a group of hikers who said they saw an unleashed dog walking around the area further down the trail. The hikers had a photo of the dog, and the rescue crew was able to forward the pictures to the dog’s owner. Though the rescue team was admittedly expecting their search to be focused on recovering a dead dog, the dog’s owner confirmed that the dog the hikers had photographed was the same dog that fell off the cliff. Miraculously, the dog was somehow unharmed.
