RCMP officer, fire chief use climbing gear to rescue dog stuck on ledge in B.C.

LOGAN LAKE, B.C. — A large dog has many more walks ahead thanks to the actions of an RCMP officer and a volunteer fire chief in British Columbia’s southern Interior.

Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey says Chevy, a nearly 40-kilogram, seven-year-old American bulldog terrier cross, was out with her owners near Logan Lake, last Wednesday.

She somehow strayed over the edge of a waterfall lookout and became stranded three metres down the 30-metre-deep rocky canyon.

A bystander hiked into cell range to call for help and O’Donaghey says Const. Kyle Vanditmars and fire Chief Doug Wilson made the roughly 45-minute trek to reach the scene.
