B.C. search and rescue crews save dog stuck on cliff
CTV News26-05-2025
Volunteers with Central Okanagan Search and Rescue say they had a busy Sunday night, when crews responded to two calls at the same time.
The first task entailed helping Mounties find and extract a person in the McCullough Lake area, according to the organization.
For the second, crews braved strong winds, thunder and lightning to rescue a dog that was trapped on a cliff near Oyama Lookout in Lake Country.
COSAR's rope team and two Vernon Search and Rescue members teamed up to reach the stranded dog after its owner 'managed to self-rescue.'

'Despite difficult weather and a very skittish pup, the team of 12 successfully brought the dog to safety and reunited her with her owner,' reads a Monday social media post.
COSAR says the dog was taken to the vet for a check-up as a precaution.
