Hobo ventured a little too far from his masters and found himself in bad shape when he fell at the foot of a hill. An association dispatched its emergency response unit to rescue him, reported FOX Weather.
On Wednesday, August 31, Hoboan 8-year-old deaf Australian Shepherd, fell 30 meters into a ravine near his owners’ house in the neighborhood of Sorrento Valley at San Diego (California).
Warned, the local association San Diego Humane Society sent officers to the scene. However, the latter could not do much for the dog, because its location was very difficult to access. One of the participants tried to descend by crossing a rock, which was however too unstable for him to continue to progress.
It was then decided to call on the association’s specialized rescuers. As soon as they arrived, the members of this ERT (Emergency Response Team) got down to work.
