GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. – A pup was recently saved after she fell greater than 100 feet right into a canyon in Colorado National Monument in western Colorado.
The Mesa County Sheriff’s Office said the pup and her owner were on a trip to go to the monument once they decided to drag over and get a more in-depth take a look at the canyon.
The curious canine had a much closer look than she – or anyone – anticipated when she jumped out of the automobile and ran straight off the ledge.
She tumbled into the canyon before landing on a rock shelf.
Photos of the rescue showed the pup being hoisted up the wall of the canyon and reunited together with her owner.
The dog was capable of walk once she was returned over the ledge of the canyon.
She was then taken to emergency veterinary services, where it was confirmed that she had no broken bones or internal injuries.
In accordance with Mesa County Search and Rescue, the pet had only suffered minor scrapes and bumps.
“If dogs have nine lives like cats, she definitely used one in her adventure on the Monument but we’re so grateful to have an incredible Search & Rescue team able to spring into motion for all who need it!” the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office said.
