Several days after Henry went missing, several coastguards in Boscastle, Cornwall, found the dog alive and went to work saving the hungry pet.
The pooch vanished on April 8 while he and his owners were walking along the South West Coast Path in an area known as The Strangles, according to SWNS.

After these efforts failed to find Henry, the dog’s heartbroken owners presumed their dog had died.
Two days later, someone reported a barking dog in the area where Henry went missing.
On April 10, the Boscastle Coastguard and Bude Coastguard Rescue Team responded to reports of a dog heard barking and found Henry approximately 20 feet down a fissure in a cliff.
The rescuers sent a coastguard down a rope into the fissure to free the stuck pup carefully. The canine’s hero came prepared. Before descending into the fissure, the rescuer made sure they had a sausage roll on hand for the mission.
“Once set up, a cliff technician was sent down to retrieve Henry with half a sausage roll and some treats,” Boscastle Coastguard told SWNS about the incident. “After about 30 minutes of shuffling and squeezing and some lassoing, we managed to get a lead around the dog and pull him up to safety to the obviously overjoyed and happy owners.”
Henry’s rescuer used the sausage roll to entice the dog to join them on the trip out of the fissure, where the pet’s excited owners awaited him at the end.
The dog happily reunited with his family and is said to be doing well following the rescue.
