A situation that began as a pet owner’s worst fear turned into a joyful reunion, thanks to the collaborative efforts of several Colorado response teams.

The Mesa County Sheriff’s Office shared on Facebook that a visitor from out of town was at the Colorado National Monument with his dog when they stopped to take in the scenery. As he opened the car door to bring the dog out, she suddenly jumped out and dashed toward the edge.

She then fell over 100 feet off the edge before landing on a shelf.

MCSO Deputy Derrick Strauch responded with a dog-catching pole in hopes he could reach her, but it turned out not to be long enough.

Mesa County Search and Rescue was then called in to help. The team climbed down to the pup before they brought her back up.

Incredibly, despite the significant fall, the dog managed to get up and walk without trouble. Emergency veterinary care revealed that she only had minor scrapes and bruises, with no fractures or internal damage, reported Mesa County Search and Rescue.

The dog’s owner was overjoyed and relieved after being reunited with the pup, Search and Rescue said.

“We are proud of the efforts that made this successful rescue possible and are thrilled to see the pup safely back in the arms of its owner,” Mesa County Search and Rescue wrote.

Search and Rescue thanked MCSO and park rangers for their efforts in saving the dog.

“If dogs have nine lives like cats, she definitely used one in her adventure on the Monument, but we are so grateful to have an amazing Search & Rescue team ready to spring into action for all who need it!” MCSO wrote.
