Earlier this week, A 30-lb sheep dog fell down a 60-foot cliff and had to be rescued near Colorado Springs.

Oreo's owners were hiking with the dog unleashed above Helen Hunt Falls when the animal fell down a 60-foot cliff and sustained minor injuries to her mouth. Firefighters had to rappel down to the dog and then bring it back up the mountainside.

 

Authorities are reminding anyone who is out in the mountains with a dog to keep it on a 6 ft leash at all times. Not only can it be dangerous for your animal, but it could be dangerous for you as well.
