Brian Messer, his wife Andrea, and their dog Maverick were climbing along the Star Chek Trail when Maverick decided to go exploring.
The manager of the Squamish Search and Rescue says a family pet's rescue from the Cheakamus River this week was made more perilous by the province's refusal to allow rescuers access to a helicopter. Kristen Robinson reports.Squamish Search and Rescue was called this week after a dog got itself into trouble along the Cheakamus River on Tuesday evening.
Their friends drove up from Vancouver with a drone to help search and they drove back up the top of Star Chek and another hiker said they heard a dog barking.Messer said they had already corresponded with Search and Rescue at this point but there was little the team could do as it got dark.We just hoped with every bone that we had in our body that Maverick would find a way to survive,” Messer added. “And luckily, he did.”“This was actually an amazing effort by our team of volunteers,” B.J.
Without a helicopter, the members had to hike down to the area and rappel to the railway tracks, which CN Rail and police had to close to assist with the rescue and then one member had to be lowered down to Maverick, secure him and pulled back up. He said the fear is that an owner will try and rescue their pet themselves and that can put them in danger.Rail shutdown: Ottawa imposing binding arbitration on parties‘Mind your own damn business!’: Tim Walz fires back at Republicans over reproductive rightsRail shutdown: Trudeau says Ottawa ‘not taking this lightly’
