We have seen plenty of people who treat pets as their family and because they are family, they would not hesitate to do everything for them especially when they get themselves in trouble. This woman went hiking with her friends when a tragic incident happened involving her puppy. Witness how she risks her life just to make sure her pup is out of danger.
A dog owner decided to bring her dog on her hiking trip.
One day, a certain group of friends decided to spend a day in the great outdoors. They went to the Bridal Veil Falls, a popular hiking spot in Telluride, Colorado.
One of the members was a 25-year-old Denver woman and a dog owner, and as she could not leave her beloved puppy alone, she settled on bringing the pup along on their trip.
It was all going fine with them as they were walking on the rocky path with the 3-month old pup. However, their trip took a turn for the worst when an unexpected incident happened.
Danger never stopped the friends from saving the stranded pup.
Things escalated quickly as they watched the poor puppy fall 15 feet off from them, and got stuck on the ledge. Panic could likely be seen during the situation, but the woman only thought of saving her pup immediately. Without fearing danger, the friends stepped up to rescue the pup.
The ledge was quite small, and one of the friends took the initiative to climb down to the very bottom to try to catch the dog just in case it would fall off from the ledge.
The woman desperately tried to get her dog out of the chute but a series of unfortunate events followed.
The next one to climb down was the pup’s owner, slowly descending to the ledge where her puppy was on. However, she suddenly lost her grip and balance as she tried to grab the puppy, causing herself to fall 30 feet down.
Fortunately, the man who was already at the bottom managed to break her fall, although it also caused both of them to slide down for another 20 feet. The San Miguel County Search and Rescue as well as the Telluride Fire Protection District responded to this emergency as fast as they could.
Everyone was able to sleep soundly that night.
The emergency rescuers were able to extract the injured hikers safely and immediately rushed them to the hospital.
It was miraculous that no one sustained any serious injuries and even the male hiker was released immediately with his minor injuries. The puppy also came back safely as one rescuer was able to get him out of the perilous ledge.
According to the post by the San Miguel County Sheriff on Facebook, their newest rescuer climbed down with a rope, and placed the pup in a harness, enabling him to carry the pup safely.
It was such a relief that after the heart-thumping series of events, everything ended well and without worries.
It is great to see that there are still brave people like the woman who would even risk her own life to save her dog. Surely, the pup and her owner were able to recover at home and are currently living with an even stronger bond than before.
