An Ohio veteran is being hailed a hero after answering a call to help to save a young puppy who fell an estimated 100 feet down into a ravine. The Ross County Humane Society shared the heroic rescue effort with Facebook followers earlier this week, explaining the situation:

Today we received a call about a puppy who had fallen down a ravine approximately 80-100 feet and landed on a slate ledge near a small waterfall. We sent staff out to see if they could safely retrieve the 8 week old mixed breed pup and it was quickly determined they could not. They could hear him crying but could not see him because he was too far down.

The animal welfare agency put out a call for help on social media and Joe Lawhorn, described as a “friend to the shelter,” answered the call. The shelter said:

Joe quickly scaled almost 100 feet down the ravine and retrieved the puppy. This puppy, who we have named Kenda was transported to North Fork Animal Clinic by shelter staff to be examined and was released to the shelter.

Hero of the day, Joe Lawhorn

The rescued pup is expected to be made available for adoption soon.
