B.C. search and rescue crews save dog stuck on cliff
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.'

COSAR says the dog was taken to the vet for a check-up as a precaution.
