[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] A hunting dog that fell from a 45-meter cliff in a mountainous area of the UK survived with only fractures and bruises.

According to the UK Daily Mail on the 21st, Walter, a 2-year-old Hungarian Vizsla hunting dog, slipped and fell off a 45-meter cliff while walking with his owner in the North Yorkshire mountainous area at noon on the 15th.

Walter suffered a broken pelvic bone and severe bleeding, making it difficult to move properly, but miraculously survived.

Owner Jonathan Rice immediately descended the cliff with three friends who were climbing together and lifted Walter back up to the top of the cliff. Fortunately, Jonathan and his three friends were able to carry Walter to a ridge leading to the rescue team.

They contacted the nearby Edale Mountain Rescue Team for help, and the rescuers rushed to the scene.

An ambulance carrying an emergency veterinary doctor took Walter, and Walter was transferred to a veterinary surgery room in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.

Amazingly, Walter was able to return home just 24 hours after surgery. Walter underwent major surgery, including removal of the broken pelvic bone and insertion of metal pins to fix the cracked bones.

The veterinarian said, "Walter's survival is luck and a miracle," and added, "He will rest and recover to his normal state over time."

The owner said, "Walter has received all the Christmas presents he will ever get in his life this time," and expressed gratitude to the medical staff and rescuers for their prompt and active treatment.
