One of my colleagues brought my attention to this tweet by the Torrance Fire Department. Apparently Carmi, a cocker spanel, wound up stranded on a cliff on Sunday. Rescuers arrived, but the dog managed to make her own way down the hillside and wound up at the bottom (unharmed) where she was reunited with her owner.


On Sunday, responded to the cliff at Via Valmonte & Hawthorne Bl for a stranded dog, (Carmi the cocker spaniel). Fire units placed themselves at the top & bottom of the cliff and set up a rope rescue system. As our Firefighter daringly made his way down to Carmi's location, Carmi began to traverse the hillside on her own. Upon reaching the bottom unharmed, Carmi was reunited with her owner.

About the Bloggers

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
