LOGAN LAKE, B.C. — A Logan Lake RCMP member partnered with the community’s volunteer fire chief for a risky rescue mission last week.

The call came in to Logan Lake RCMP at about 11:10 a.m. last Wednesday (Apr. 28). An elderly couple had been hiking at Mimi Falls east of Logan Lake when their dog, Chevy, became stranded on a ledge about three metres down a steep cliff.

The owners had no way to rescue Chevy, an 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,” said Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey, spokesman for the BC RCMP in the Southeast District in a news release.

Cst. Kyle Vanditmars of Logan Lake RCMP was joined on site by Fire Chief Doug Wilson.
