Animal rescue with a happy ending: On Friday afternoon, Tyrolean mountain rescuers saved a dog that had fallen into the Kaiserklamm gorge near Brandenberg (Kufstein district). The five-year-old four-legged friend was lucky not to fall into the raging waters of the Brandenberger Ache.

A vacationing couple from Germany were out and about in the idyllic gorge with their five-year-old dog "Fips" when the four-legged friend slipped under the protection and fell over steeply sloping terrain towards the stream. As the fate of the dog was initially unclear to the owners, the Kramsach/Umgebung mountain rescue team was alerted by emergency call at around 3.40 pm.

Waiting for rescue in a rocky hollow
Under the command of Hannes Knoll, two women and three men were deployed to the scene. After drilling a belay station, local station leader Gerhard Unterberger was carefully roped down by his colleagues and was able to give the all-clear shortly afterwards. Fortunately, little "Fips" had not fallen into the raging Brandenberger Ache, but was calmly waiting to be rescued in a washed-out rocky hollow about 15 meters below the path.

Unterberger was able to rescue the four-legged friend without any reluctance, so that after a short time his mistress was able to take her "runaway" back into her arms and check him for injuries.

Extra cuddles
Fips" seems to have survived the crash well. He naturally received lots of extra cuddles from his mistress and the rescuers before heading home again. After around two hours, the return to the mountain rescue home marked the end of a particularly nice mountain rescue mission.
