Kai, a four-year-old Saluki, was rescued from a ledge above a 50m (164ft) drop in 'atrocious' conditions.
A woman has thanked a mountain rescue team after she and her dog became stranded near a Peak District waterfall.
The 26-year-old dog owner, who has asked to remain anonymous, was walking her four dogs near the summit of Kinder Scout on 27 April when she noticed Kai had climbed down on to a ledge.A picture of Kinder Downfall taken a few years ago which illustrates where the woman and dog were strandedWith the weather starting to turn, the woman huddled around her other three dogs and waited for help."I got to these rocks and I was looking at him thinking 'I'm so close to him'.
Kinder Mountain Rescue Team, which is made up entirely of volunteers, said the woman had become "quite hypothermic" when they got to her. Rescuers managed to reach Kai using a rope. "After careful assessment of the terrain and the situation, we decided to implement a full rope rescue to retrieve the dog," Mr Howarth said.
