PARRSBORO, N.S. – RCMP say a young man and his dog are safe after they fell down a nine-metre cliff on the coast of northern Nova Scotia.
Police say a 22-year-old man and his friend were walking a dog on Lighthouse Road in Parrsboro around 3 a.m. Sunday when the man’s dog went over the edge of the cliff.
Investigators say the man fell down the embankment while trying to rescue his dog, landing on the beach.
Police say the man’s friend called police and officers were eventually able to find the injured man, who had crawled along the rocks to escape the rising tide, around 4 a.m.
They say the local fire department’s zodiac eventually plucked the man from the beach and he was taken to hospital for a broken leg and other injuries.
Police say the man’s dog was able to climb back to the top of the cliff on his own.
