Dog Rescue - Crabtree Falls

Wintergreen Rescue Squad was dispatched to Crab Tree Falls for what was reported as a dog that had fallen from the falls and was injured. The dog was reported to have been in an area hard to access on the other side of the water flow. Five members of the Technical Rescue Team responded with Squad 1 to handle the call. When the team arrived on location and in the area where the dog was it was noted the dog was alive, however appeared to have minor injuries. After setting up some safety and belay lines the team was able to access the dog. As matter of fact, the dog was ready to get off the mountain and came to us. The dog will be OK and was very happy to see its owner and have a nice big bowl of dog food. Units on location were Nelson County Animal Control, US Park Service, and Montebello Fire & Rescue. Thanks to all involved for a job well done!
