A dog named Saul is being credited with leading rescuers to his owner after the 53-year-old man fell 70 feet down a ridge in California’s Tahoe National Forest last week.
“At first we didn’t believe it because it sounded like a movie,” Sgt. Dennis Haack of Nevada County Sheriff’s Office Search and RescueThe dog’s owner, whose name has not been released, fell from the ridge in a remote area of the forest on Tuesday. But he wasn’t able to call 911 for help until around noon the next day, when he managed to drag himself to a place where he could use his cell phone, despite having a broken hip and ribs.
The dog got the volunteers’ attention by approaching them, then jumping around, spinning in circles, and running about 20 feet ahead before turning and looking back them,. Haack told the Times that a volunteer said over the radio, “Hey, I think this dog is trying to lead us somewhere.” The man, who suffered non life-threatening injuries, was transported via helicopter to a hospital. He was reunited with Saul, who had received plenty of accolades and treats, the next day.
Haack told the Times that he believes the search team would have eventually found the man on its own. But he recognized the major assist Saul gave them.. “Great work and skill by all involved.”
