Loyal Dog Travels Four Miles to Find Help for Injured Owner After Cliff Plunge

An Oregon man who drove his car off a steep cliff into a ravine was saved by his loyal pooch who ran four miles to find help.

A faithful dog ran four miles through the Oregon wilderness to find help for its injured owner, Brandon Garrett, who had spent the night stranded after driving off a steep cliff into a ravine.

Garrett’s dog arrived at a Baker County campsite around 9:30 a.m. on Monday, alerting his worried family to the emergency, according to the county sheriff. The family quickly organized a search party and discovered Garrett’s truck lying on its side at the edge of a creek, several hundred feet down a roadside cliff.

Rescue crews used a "highline rope system" to safely carry Garrett out of the ravine before loading him into a helicopter and rushing to a local hospital.

One of Garrett’s four dogs remained by the truck, standing guard, while the family called for a rescue team due to the inaccessibility of the crash site.

“Sheriff Ash arrived and located the vehicle, along with a dog, in the steep, brushy ravine. As he was looking for an access point to the creek, he heard someone yelling for help,” the Baker County sheriff’s office reported. Garrett had crawled 100 yards away from the vehicle after failing “to negotiate a curve, causing the vehicle to plummet off the embankment,” officials explained.

oo injured to climb the steep cliffside himself, Garrett was forced to spend the night in the bushy ravine waiting for his faithful furry friend to find help.
