The Oregon man was headed to a campsite with four dogs. When one showed up alone and covered in glass, other campers knew something was wrong.
An Oregon man whose truck plummeted into a ravine was rescued earlier this week, and has his dog to thank.
On Sunday, Brandon Garrett was on his way to a campsite with four dogs in Baker County, Oregon, when his vehicle plunged over an embankment,in a press release. One of his dogs headed out from the scene of the crash and traveled almost 4 miles to the campsite, where Garrett’s fellow campers were waiting.. A search for Garrett began, but the area’s heavily wooded terrain made things difficult.
Brandon Garrett had managed to crawl about 100 yards away from the vehicle, the sheriff’s office said. His three other dogs were also at the scene, alive. The sheriff’s office worked with the U.S. Forest Service and local emergency response crews to rescue Garrett. The complex operation involved clearing a path with chainsaws, securing Garrett in a basket and using a rope system to pull him across the ravine. He was then taken by helicopter to a hospital.
