I feel for you, I would of been terrified Hope all is well xxx

So glad she is ok.

We had this almost happen year before last, we had taken a walk along the coastal paths whilst on holiday, If Patrick hadn't of moved as quick as he did Reah would of gone over the edge about 200ft drop into the sea she walked to close to the edge, Patrick grabbed her tail and pulled her back

We don't do coastal walks now far to dangerous, stupid of us at the time not to think about it, but there were loads of people doing the same thing with kids and dogs

totally agree we won't be going near coastal paths in future just want the all clear from the vets tomorrow now.

i should add that we would have taken her to the emergency vets if we were in any doubt, we think she is ok, but just want to be sure tomorrow.

Hi MumToMany, poor Betty, I am so glad she is ok

I understand that dogs don't see the world as a humans do. They have very good vision when it comes to detecting moving objects (essential for a predator) and their night vision is much better than that of a human but they are not very good at judging distance which may account for them jumping off high places so readily.

Oh my - lucky that turned out ok......

Hope the vet agrees x

hope she gets the all clear at the vets today *hugs*

Thank goodness she is ok, I would of felt so ill if Ollie had done that.
Good luck at the vets today.

What a scare. We know of 2 Airedales who have jumped off things, one off a wall about 10 foot high. She was OK, but has hip dysplasia which was discovered when she was taken to the vet afterwards, though I presume she already had that anyway. The other jumped off a viaduct and tragically died at the scene. I now always make sure my daft pair are on lead near any drops.

Hugs to you and your girl.

Thanks for all your concern, Betty has been amazingly lucky, and got away with just some soreness. we will be sticking to the beaches we know in future where we can park, and walk onto the beach with no coastal paths to walk along.
