GLENSHAW, Pa. (AP) - A girl and her dog were recovering Friday after they went over a hillside and became stuck in western Pennsylvania.
Veronica Lavsa, 11, ran after her Golden Retriever named Penny when the dog got loose from the house and fell approximately 200 feet (61 meters) over a hill on Thursday night.
“I started jumping tree to tree until I got to her,” Lavsa told KDKA-TV. “And then I started trying to walk up and she wouldn’t go up. She started shaking.”
Her brother called police.
Shaler Township police posted on Facebook that fire and EMS units assisted Lavsa up first and then Penny. Police said neither appeared injured.
Lavsa said she was “very scared.”
