Dog runs 4 miles to find help after owner drives over Oregon cliff,…

Talk about man’s best friend.

A loyal pooch ran four miles through the Oregon wilderness to find help for its injured owner — who spent the night stranded after driving off a steep cliff into a ravine.

Brandon Garrett’s dog arrived at a Baker County campsite around 9:30 a.m. Monday to alert his anxious family to the trouble, the county sheriff said.

They immediately launched a search party, finding his truck lying on its side at the edge of a creek several hundred feet off a roadside cliff.

Another one of Garrett’s four dogs was standing watch over the truck, officials said.

Unable to reach the crash zone themselves, the family called for a rescue team.

“Sheriff Ash arrived and located the vehicle, along with a dog, in the steep, brushy ravine. As he was looking for an access point to the creek, he heard a subject yell for help,” the Baker County sheriff’s office said.

Rescue crews used a “highline rope system” to safely carry Garrett out of the ravine before loading him into a helicopter and rushing to a local hospital. Baker County Sheriff’s Office

Garrett had managed to crawl 100 hundred yards away from the vehicle after failing “to negotiate a curve causing the vehicle to plummet off the embankment,” according to officials.
