Miracle dog fell off 165ft cliff and patiently 'perched' on ledge for epic rescue

A miracle dog has been reunited with her delighted owner after she fell of a 165ft cliff edge while out on a walk. Bonnie the one-year-old shih tzu plunged down the rugged cliff face in Essex on Monday, and could have easily tumbled to her death.

But the lucky pup survived and was amazingly spotted patiently 'perched' on the rocks, waiting to be rescued. Crews from Essex Fire and Rescue Service team were called to the cliffs at 1.46pm where they then used ropes to abseil down to Bonnie. The fluffy pooch was sat 32ft below the top of the ridge and was finally reached at around 3pm.
