UPDATE: The dog’s owner reached the dog at about 2:35 p.m. Wednesday. They are staying still for the moment, and it’s unclear whether they will travel back up or down off the cliff. They are located in a steep bowl above the Perseverance Trailhead. No one else is on scene, except the Empire photographer Michael Penn.<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

It should be noted that it’s presumed the rescuer is the dog’s owner, based on what authorities said previously. Whoever it is had to rappel down from above to get to the dog. It’s unclear whether he or she can climb back up with the dog.<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

They are all blocked by a tree now, and we can’t see anything on scene.<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

It’s 3:13 p.m. now, and we can see that both humans and the dog are all together now. They are not moving yet.<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

Here’s a video showing how high up they are. It’s tough to see but they are located in the top center of the last shot.<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
