Dog stranded for 20 days between cliff and raging river rescued in Nepal

Dog stranded for 20 days between cliff and raging river rescued in Nepal

A dog named Seti was rescued after being stranded for 20 days between a sheer cliff and the raging Budhi Gandaki river in Nepal's Gorkha district. The animal, belonging to Dayaram Karki of Thado Bharyang, was swept away during a flash flood on October 11. A coordinated rescue effort involving local authorities, animal welfare groups, and residents culminated in the rescue by two kayakers who braved adverse weather conditions to reach the isolated patch of land where Seti had been left.

Seti was successfully ferried across the river to safety, where it was welcomed by local officials and authorities.
