The man had fallen 70 feet and broke multiple bones.
The volunteers were able to locate the man, but the post gives credit for the rescue to his border collie Sal, who ran 200 yards through the forest “in true Lassie fashion” to lead two volunteers to where the owner lay injured.
The man had called 911 but then lost cell service, the outlet reported. Search and rescue teams were able to contact his friend, who directed them to his campsite. When he wasn’t found there, the team spread out to search the area. That’s when they met Sal. “He ran about 20 ft away from them, stopped and looked back at them. They took that as he was trying to lead them to the victim,” Nevada County Sheriff’s Deputy Sgt. Dennis Haack told CBS Sacramento.
