Vimes is the pet of two newlyweds - a journalist and a blogger. The groom set up the dog's Twitter account in 2012.
The couple were on honeymoon in Italy when their pet fell at Lookout Point during a walk with the bride's parents.
Ms O'Shaughnessy said her parents had taken both Vimes and their own pet dog for a walk at Lookout Point, but Vimes' lead slipped out of her father's hand and the dog disappeared.
She said there was a 15 second delay between her parents realising that Vimes had gone missing and hearing a splash, as he fell into the water below the cliff.
