Emergency responders retrieve dog from perilous cliff edge in Hermanus.
A dog trapped on a near-vertical cliff face at Dreunkrans in Hermanus was rescued last Thursday.
The mixed-breed male dog, whose owners remain untraced, was spotted 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 the alarm to the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI).
NSRI Hermanus station commander Edrich Kotze said responders faced challenging terrain to reach the stranded animal.
