HONOLULU, HI – A hiker who fell 200 feet down a steep slope off a marked trail in Hawaii was found and rescued thanks in large part to her barking dog.
The Honolulu Fire Department said in a release it received a 911 call on Monday about a missing hiker on Lanipo Trail in the Kaimuki neighborhood. First responders began a rescue operation, searching on foot and from above in a helicopter.
Both the dog and the owner, a 35-year-old woman, were safely airlifted to a nearby park in Honolulu.
