Last week, Brandon Garrett was driving with his 2 dogs on a U.S. Forest Service Road in Baker County, Oregon, when he crashed into a ravine. NY Post reports Brandon was so injured, he had no choice but to wait for help. One of his dogs ran off on a mission to save him. The dog ran nearly four miles back to their campsite, alerting Garrett's family to the accident.
Realizing something was wrong, the family quickly began searching for Garrett and eventually heard his other dog barking which led them to his vehicle in the ravine. Emergency rescuers were called who used chainsaws to clear a path to him. Rescuers then used a rescue blanket and rope to retrieve Garrett and his other dog who wouldn't leave his side from the ravine.
Garrett was found about 100 yards from the trail with his three other dogs, all of whom were alive and well. Authorities administered first aid before transporting him by ambulance to a helicopter, which flew him to a nearby hospital for treatment. Now Garrett and his family are praising his dogs for helping to save him, leading to his timely rescue.
