People.com Lifestyle Pets Daily Treat: Labrador Survives 150 Foot Plunge in Daring Christmas Day Rescue Sandy the labrador suffered minor injuries from the fall and was able to walk away from the accident By Associated Press Published on December 29, 2014 08:30 PM Share Tweet Pin Email A yellow labrador that got spooked on a Christmas Day hike through the Columbia Gorge in Portland, Oregon, snapping her leash and plunging 150 feet down a cliff, was rescued in the dark by a climber who rappelled to a narrow ledge where the dog was trapped. David Schelske of West Linn told the Oregon Humane Society that when 3-year-old Sandy bounded around a bend and disappeared he figured her for a goner. He hiked to the bottom of the cliff and saw her stranded on a narrow ledge 70 feet above. At about 7 p.m., an eight-person crew helped Humane Society volunteer John Thoeni descend.
