A dog in Idaho is lucky to be alive after he was recently rescued from a cliff that he had been stuck on for multiple days.
The canine was believed to have been there for at least five days and may have fallen from the top of the cliff, according toFriends Furever’s Facebook page.
The organization said they were first notified of the dog’s whereabouts after several locals spotted Clifford in the canyon and attempted to get him help. One neighbor even climbed up the cliff himself to give Clifford water while he waited to be rescued.

However, the challenging task was no match for Friends Furever volunteer Richard Jensen and Dave Wright, who both had experience rock climbing and instantly knew they had to save Clifford’s life.
“Once we reached him, we sat up there with him for a little bit to get him used to us and help him feel more confident,” Wright added.
Because of the decaying pathways, Jensen and Wright told the outlet they had to frequently pass Clifford to each other in order to make it down safely.
Once all three had reached the bottom, the volunteers transported him to Windswept Kennels in Jerome, where he was treated for his “terrible fleas,” according to Friends Furever.
While he recovers from his injuries at his foster home, the animal rescue organization has been asking their followers for donations to treat Clifford and pay for his veterinary bills.
