This golden boy had quite the ruff day! 🐶

Milo the golden doodle got a little too adventurous on the cliffs of Moss Beach today, losing his footing and tumbling 100 feet down.

But when he barked for help, our CAL FIRE, Coastside, and San Mateo County Fire heroes answered the call — 🦸‍♂️rappelling down with a rope rescue system to bring this fluffy guy back.
