A loyal dog guided his owner to safety after the hunter suffered horrific injuries from a crash.
Jacob Schmitt, 34, was deer hunting with his six-year-old dog named Buddy in Utah’s Uinta Mountains on July 20 when his side-by-side utility vehicle lost control and rolled off a cliff.
'Immediately I realized it was going over like a capsizing ship,' Schmitt said told KSTU.
'The machine flipped probably 15-20 times by the end of it, but I would say best of my recollection, probably the second or third flip is when it kind of sort of rag-dolled me out.'
Buddy was safely secured in a kennel in the back of the utility vehicle, but Schmitt sustained a broken leg, fractured ankles and broken ribs from the crash.
