NARROW LEDGE SAVES LABRADOR FROM MASSIVE FREEFALL!

Firemen rescued a chocolate lab named Ike on Monday afternoon after the dog slid down a cliff in Mukilteo, Washington.

Ike’s family had been frantically looking for him since he disappeared on Sunday, but it wasn’t until the next day that a neighbor heard a whimpering and followed the sound. The neighbor was startled to find Ike standing on a narrow shelf about 20 feet down (6 meters) a cliff.

Astonishingly, a small stretch of dirt and rock — no wider than a kitchen table — stopped Ike’s fall. Without it, Ike who would have plunged the full length of the cliff some 200 feet down (960 meters)!

What a reminder to us all to be grateful for ‘the little things’.

Animal Rescue Chase

The Great Animal Rescue Chase celebrates the art of animal rescue with a worldwide race to rescue one million. It’s a free event, open to all, and is perhaps the only global animal rescue event aimed at helping any animal in distress, anywhere in the world. Our ambition is to create a culture of enthusiasm and pride in animal activism. We believe in teaching, by example, that there is a hero in each of us just waiting to be unleashed. Empowered animal lovers can not only save lives, but build the momentum for powerful animal welfare reform.
