Earlier this week on Tuesday, rescuers descended 30 feet down a quarry in Boston to rescue a dog that had accidentally slipped in.
Madison, a one-year-old Weimaraner, was being walked off her leash by her owners friend when she slid down the quarry wall to a narrow embankment at the water’s edge.
The man immediately went to her rescue, but he was unable to climb back up the steep slope with the dog in hand, so the Animal Rescue League of Boston was called to make the rescue, complete with ropes and rappelling.
A four-person team, which specializes in difficult rescue operations handled the situation quickly and efficiently as they repelled down the quarry wall to rescue Madison.
Once the dog was safe, the dog walker was able to climb up himself.
Close one!
Luckily, Madison is doing fine after the traumatic event.
Nancy Bersani, president of the Milton Animal League, who witnessed the rescue, said:
“I called [her owner] a couple of hours later and she was sleeping soundly. I don’t think she’ll ever be curious about what’s at the bottom of a quarry again.”
We’d like to issue a big THANK YOU to all parties involved in Madison’s rescue.
Great job!
