Jessica was hiking in a remote part of New Zealand with her dog, Molly, when she slipped and fell 180 feet down a waterfall. Jessica survived and was rescued - but Molly had disappeared.

A local helicopter company heard what happened and organized a volunteer search. A week after Molly went missing, the team flew back to the waterfall to start looking.

And there she was.

Molly was sitting on rocks beneath the very waterfall where Jessica had fallen. Despite spending a week on her own, rescuers said she was in perfect condition.

They lured Molly over with a treat, carried her to the helicopter and brought her to safety.

After an unimaginably difficult week, Jessica and Molly were finally both back home.

      Shame it seems to always be non-humans

        I don’t think that’s fair to say in this case, after all, it was humans that found the dog using an helicopter which is not cheap to fly.

        In fact, to finance the helicopter flight they raised money and reached out more then five time their objective in 8 hours.
