A hiker spotted the German shepherd stuck on a steep mountainside above rushing water Monday. She had to retreat for safety and called for help. Thankfully, folks from Animal Advocacy and Iron Paw Rescue responded around 8 p.m. and managed to make it across the water by anchoring themselves with a cable tied to a truck. They got to the dog and kept it calm. The video shows them sitting with the animal and giving it food.
The ball slips out of Simba's mouth and drops on the floor. He looks down for a moment, then seeks his owner's attention using his paw. He tries harder with some whining, which increases when his human doesn't pay attention. It seems the requesting tone soon turns into a demanding one as an onscreen line expresses the dog's thoughts: "Hey! Pick my ball!"
