A female dog that fell in steep terrain and was seriously injured, along with her owner, were rescued by helicopter on Wednesday in Mittelberg in the Kleinwalsertal in Vorarlberg.
The dog of a German couple on vacation was attacked by a loose dog during a hike on the Widderstein. The Golden Retriever then ran away and fell more than 40 meters into a gorge.

The owner climbed down to her but was unable to proceed with the injured dog. The alerted mountain rescue team was deployed but called in the air police due to the circumstances. Thus, the dog and owner were rescued by rope and flown to the valley, the authorities informed. In an animal clinic, a pelvic fracture, a traumatic brain injury, and a pneumothorax were diagnosed. However, there is hope for the Golden Retriever's full recovery, it was stated.
