Dog runs 4 miles to get help after owner crashes over embankment, saving his life

HALFWAY, Ore. – A man who crashed his car over an embankment was found and rescued after his dog ran four miles to alert family members at a nearby campsite that something was wrong, officials in Oregon said.

Brandon Garrett was traveling north on U.S. Forest Service Road 39 with his four dogs on Sunday night when he “failed to negotiate a curve” and crashed over an embankment, according to the Baker County Sheriff’s Office.

While Garrett was able to crawl about 100 yards from the wrecked vehicle, where he remained overnight, one of his dogs ran four miles to their camp and alerted family members.
