Puppy Survives 200FT Drop!
Updated : Feb 28, 2009
A puppy survived plunging more than 200ft (60.6m) over a cliff into a flooded quarry.
The cocker spaniel called Dotty was chasing a bird near her owner's home in Chepstow, Monmouthshire, when she tumbled over the edge. The seven-month-old pet bounced off the cliff face three times before hitting the icy water at an estimated 50mph.
Amazingly, a sub-aqua team were diving in the quarry, saw her splash landing and helped her.
One of the group swam over and lifted Dotty to safety before they gave her oxygen from their tanks. Moments later her tail was wagging.
Owner Keli Beamon, 45, said: "She must be the luckiest dog in the world - it's a miracle she survived. The fall alone should have killed her - and entering the water at that speed must have been like hitting a brick wall. I couldn't believe it when I found her on all fours with her tail wagging."
VeryHappyPig Says the puppy must be made of the same stuff hardy piggy’s are!!
