An elderly dog was reunited with its family last week after the canine slipped on ice and fell off a cliff – resulting in a suspenseful rescue mission by an animal control team in eastern Virginia.
Oakley, the 16-year-old dog from Giles County, was outside at his family home Wednesday when his paws lost their grip on the ice and he slid backwards over the side of the cliff near the backyard, the Giles County Animal Shelter said on Facebook.
