A dog was found alive last week after plunging off a cliff and spending the night alone in freezing temperatures at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Michigan, officials said.
Dancer, a 3-year-old dog described as a “professional troublemaker,” had escaped her leash on Wednesday evening and fell off a cliff near Miners Castle onto a ledge 60 feet below, the National Park Service (NPS) said.
Dancer’s owners searched for hours in the dark but could not find their beloved pet, believing she had died in the fall, the agency said.
Park rangers and Superior High Angle Rescue Professionals, a local rope rescue team, continued to search for Dancer along a “treacherous section” of the Lake Superior shoreline, according to NPS.
