A dog visiting a national park in Michigan was rescued after it jumped over a railing and fell about 30 feet down a cliff over the weekend.
The National Park Service said the incident occurred on Friday at the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
There they found a 4-year-old cocker spaniel - poodle mix named Leo on a ledge, moving and limping around. Officials said that Leo's family, who were visiting from Wisconsin, reassured the dog to stay put so he could be rescued. However, after about 25 minutes of Leo being coaxed and offered dog food, bread, and Goldfish crackers, the dog came to Miller and Chief Ranger Joe Hughes, park officials said.
