Fire crews save Labrador from Nidd Gorge ravine
North Yorkshire firefighters came to the rescue of a Labrador called Henry when he fell 15 metres into a ravine at Nidd Gorge yesterday.
Henry fell from a path at the popular dog walking spot but fortunately landed on a ledge.
Henry's owner tried to scramble to his rescue but was unable to reach him.
North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service was summoned to help at 11.15am.
Crews from Harrogate, Ripon and Tadcaster came to his aid in the gorge woodland, to the west of Knaresborough.
Using specialist rope equipment known as a gotcha pack, a firefighter was lowered into the ravine to save the dog.
The firefighter wrapped Henry in a salvage sheet and brought him back to safety.
