A local front line Logan Lake RCMP officer partnered with the Fire Chief, of the Logan Lake Volunteer Fire Department, to carry out a rare and risky canine rescue from above Mimi Falls.
On April 28, at 11:10 a.m., a bystander hiked into cellular range in order to contact the Logan Lake RCMP for help, after the furry four-legged friend of an elderly couple had become isolated on a ledge part way down a cliff, which overlooks Mimi Falls.
The pup’s owners, and bystanders were unable to safely reach Chevy, the nearly 80-pound, seven-year-old, American Bulldog Terrier cross. Chevy, who was a rescue herself, had become stuck in a precarious position overlooking the 30-meter deep rocky canyon, according to Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey, spokesman for the BC RCMP in the Southeast District.
