Police and fire crews in San Francisco rescued a dog from a rocky Telegraph hillside on Tuesday evening.
In a joint statement, the San Francisco Police Department and San Francisco Fire Department said officers from Central Police Station, along with firefighters from Engine Company 28 and Truck Company 13, responded to the 200 block of Sansome St. just after 6 p.m., regarding a report of a dog that had slipped through a hole in a fence line near the Greenwich Street Steps.
The Labrador Retriever named "Loki" had fallen about 20 to 30 feet down the hillside.
After a bit of coaxing, Loki came near enough for an officer to secure her, but a high cyclone fence at the top of the cliff prevented the officer from passing Loki to safety.
However, a San Francisco firefighter then used a rope line dropped from the top of the cliff and made his way up the hillside from below and then carried Loki down to Lombard Street.
"All of us at the SFFD and SFPD are very happy that Loki was rescued and reunited with her family," an SFPD spokesman told KCBS Radio.
