Most dogs are obsessed with playing fetch and are usually ready to play anywhere, anytime. However, one UK dog owner learned the hard way that there are some places where a harmless game of fetch can easily become deadly…
While on a hike with his nine-year-old pet spaniel, a man from the UK decided to play fetch with a rock he found on the ground since he knew how much his dog loved the game. However, he quickly realized why it’s incredibly dangerous to play fetch on top of a mountain range.
Like most dogs, Woody focused on nothing but the small stone his owner had just thrown, and when the stone accidentally rolled too far off the cliff, he dove after it not realizing how steep the drop was. Woody fell 600 feet off of the Pen y Fan cliff, which is they highest peak in Brecon Beacons mountain range in South Wales. The mountain’s rescue team arrived shortly after he reached the summit, but by that time Woody was no longer moving.
At first, the rescue team feared Woody was dead, but once they got close enough they were stunned to see he actually survived. “Woody was one of the best-behaved casualties we have brought off the mountain, rescuer David Grant said. The team still worried Woody had injured his spine or had internal injuries so carefully put him in a stretcher and carried him to safety. “He was very well behaved, grateful, light to carry and didn’t complain once.”
Miraculously, Woody survived the deadly fall with just a broken tail and a few small cuts. He was brought home a few days later to recuperate.
