And they say cats always land on their feet. Dancer, a 3-year-old pooch, may really be the epitome of a lucky dog. Dancer and her pet parents were hiking on a cliff near Miner’s Castle at Pictured Rocks National Seashore in Michigan. Unfortunately, Dancer, described as a “professional troublemaker” got off her leash and fell right off a cliff.
SHARP team rescues lucky dog
Dancer’s distraught owners spent hours trying to find the contrary canine. One can only imagine how their hearts plummeted as they drew the conclusion that Dancer was truly done for. After their fruitless search, park rangers got a report about the missing mutt.
Park staff then contacted the Superior High Angle Rescue Professionals, whose acronym apparently fits—SHARP. A rope-rescue team, SHARP volunteers turned up at the Lake Superior location. Three SHARP volunteers did what rope-rescue folks do. They found a cold but alive and very much excited Dancer. The lucky dog escaped death and was rescued from a ledge 60’ below her takeoff point.
