The Maritime and Coastguard Agency had conducted a winter training on-board a helicopter.
In the meantime, they happened to pass by Scotland somewhere in its snowy parts.
They saw a dog on top of a snowy mountain.
Apparently, this little dog had been missing for almost 48 hours.
The helicopter of Inverness Coastguard miraculously spotted the pooch named Ben.
They saw the dog on a ledge with 200 feet of nothing but air below;
As a result, Ben was freezing, cold and terrified.
In the meantime, no cover in terrible weather is such an ordeal. Because of that, they quickly decided to pick up the dog.
After lifting the dog to safety, a member of the team skillfully wrapped him with a blanket to warm his body.
According to the team, saving the poor dog was a bonus after a week of hectic training.
Before the day ended, they brought Ben to a veterinary clinic to ensure his wellbeing.
Considering Ben's location when he was rescued, it is a miracle that he survived.
God said it wasn't time to go and as a result, the wonderful dog escaped sure peril.
If not for the help of the Maritime and Coastguard trainees, the life of Ben would be gone.
Worried as he was Ben's owner had no idea where to look for him.
Perhaps, he thought that his pet could have died.
The team did their best to find the owner of the dog and eventually located him.
According to the owner, Ben and her husband were out on a walk.
But accidentally Ben went missing when her husband couldn’t keep up with him as the weather became worse.
Her husband decided to leave Ben as he couldn’t manage to coax the dog from the ledge and the wind was getting stronger.
The position is so difficult few experienced climbers would be brave enough to rescue the dog.
All efforts from the ground would be to no avail; The weather was that bad.
Ben's owner was so grateful when she heard of the rescue.
And especially to the well-trained team for saving their pet.
