Arizona deputies rescued a dog that was injured after falling into a canyon near Battleship Rock, a prominent peak in the Superstition Mountains.
In a Facebook post detailing the dramatic rescue, the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office said they received a call from the dog’s owner reporting his four-legged friend was seriously injured and could no longer walk.
“He suffered injuries while out with his owner, and they called us to help get him out of the area so he could receive veterinary care,” the sheriff’s office said.
The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office Aviation Division rescue team flew a helicopter to the area and found the dog surrounded by several people who had stayed with him.
“He had been there for about two hours. He is a very loved pet and companion,” the sheriff’s office said.
Video of the rescue shows the dog being strapped to a harness before it is hoisted out of the canyon.
Authorities said the dog was taken to an emergency veterinary clinic for treatment.
“Thanks to the crew’s compassion and care, the brave pup was reunited with his owner and taken to an emergency vet,” they said in the post.
