A dog named Stout satisfied its name after “marvelously” surviving a plunge off a 70-feet cliff in Texas.
An emergency medical service called the rescue of the pet a “startling story with a glad, vibe great closure.”
It happened Thursday close to the Pennybacker Bridge disregard in Austin, as per Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services.
Stout wound up being safeguarded by paramedic Bob Luddy, who turned out to be close by doing some rope preparing and heard shouts for help.
“After the owner identified where the dog had fallen from, Capt. Luddy rigged an anchor strap to a tree, attached a rappel line and safety line to the anchor, and rappelled down the cliff face,” the agency said.
Luddy didn’t think he’d find the dog alive, but at the bottom Stout was “miraculously, mostly unharmed,” according to the agency.
“He must have fallen about 70 feet, and hit a few branches and bushes on the way down,” Luddy said. “I was ecstatic to find him in such good condition.”
After a happy reunion with his owner, Stout got checked out by an emergency vet.
