EMS saved our dog | Letter

When “Molly” (canine variety) came up missing and did not show for dinner as usual on Monday, a search was launched, however unsuccessfully.  Her cries could be heard, but suddenly stopped and we all feared the worst.  The following morning she was located having fallen about 30 feet to the rocks below.  Rescue by boat was not an option due to weather conditions, so a call to OIFR resulted in a response by the rescue team, and also a practice opportunity.  Thank you to Rachel Harvey (the animal whisperer), who rappelled down the bank (with Mark O’Neill in charge of the ropes) and gave her a tranquilizer to calm her and Ben Luna who followed with the stretcher, R.J. Myers, Seth Ybarra, and Chief O’Brien, from a grateful “Molly” and family. She is doing well and with no broken bones, but stiff joints. Your OIFR is here for you! Please support them.
