The USCG got an agency assist request from the Cannon Beach Fire Department for a German Shepard who fell 300 feet down a cliff to a remote section of the beach. This part of the beach is only accessible by repelling down from a hiking trail.
Will summer solstice feel like summer in Seattle this year?
An Air Station Astoria MH-60 Jayhawk aircrew responded. At around 8:20 p.m., the crew arrived and were able to hoist the dog to the owner at the Ecola State Park parking lot.
No word on how this happened. The German Shepard wasn’t seriously injured.
