Dog Is Dog's Best Friend
LONDON (AP) - It was one of those heartwarming Lassie moments - with a twist.
A golden Labrador survived a 100-foot fall down a cliff after another dog - a black Labrador - ran to get help from the first dog's owner, coast guard officials said.
The golden Labrador named Lacey became trapped after slipping down a rocky slope Monday near South Stack, in Holyhead (search), north Wales.
The black Labrador, named Sheena, spotted her lying in a pool of water at the bottom of a gully and raced to fetch Lacey's owner, barking to gain attention and directing her to the stricken animal.
Coast guard rescuers climbed down to the dog and set up a harness-and-rope system to hoist her back to the top. The whole operation took about 40 minutes.
A spokesman for the coast guard said the dog was shivering from the cold but did not seem to be hurt and was wagging her tail.
