Can it get any more beautiful?
A trapped dog has been rescued from a near-vertical cliff face at Dreunkrans in Hermanus after an alert from a passing walker alerted a coordinated emergency response.
The mixed-breed male dog, whose owners remain untraced, was spotted on Thursday morning clinging to the rock face some distance below the cliff path. The alert came from a local woman who heard the animal barking whilst on her walk and raised alarm to the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI).
NSRI Hermanus station commander Edrich Kotze said responders faced challenging terrain to reach the stranded animal.
"The dog appeared trapped on a steep incline, on the side of the cliff below the path," Kotze said. "On arrival, we had to negotiate steep, barely accessible terrain to reach it."
