El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office
A California dog is recovering after facing a gnarly tumble down a waterfall while on a hike with his owner.
Per the post, the owner informed the sheriff’s office that his pup was still alive at the bottom — and that he was attempting to find a way down to help him.

Moscow had sustained several serious injuries and his mobility was impacted, so responders strapped the pup into a harnessed backpack, which they used to transport him “out of the slick ice” and into a “warm vehicle.” He was then taken to an emergency veterinarian, where he is “doing well,” the sheriff’s office reported.
