Family Saves Dog Stuck in Tree

Family Rescues Tiny Dog Stuck High in Tree After Daring Climb

In a heart-stopping moment that left one family both stunned and scrambling, a small dog named Lady found herself stuck at the top of a tall tree — and it was up to her family to pull off the rescue.

Lady, a one-year-old Maltese-Chihuahua mix, was spotted perched high in a cypress tree by the Tapia family, who couldn’t believe their eyes. “I was like, oh my gosh… I just couldn’t believe it,” one family member recalled. Unsure how the tiny pup managed the impressive climb, they quickly sprang into action.

The family stretched out a sheet beneath the tree in case Lady decided to jump, hoping to catch her safely. They also called the fire department, only to find that help wasn’t coming. “It’s not like the movies,” said one family member. “The fire department doesn’t come out to rescue pets.”

With no other options, the family’s father took matters into his own hands — literally. He bravely climbed the tall tree himself, admitting he was far more scared than Lady appeared to be. “I was like, don’t hurt yourself,” said a family member as he made the risky ascent.

After carefully reaching Lady and coaxing her down, she landed safely in the sheet below and immediately bounced back, running off unharmed. Meanwhile, her rescuer was left with a few bruises but a big sense of relief.

The Tapia family is grateful everything ended well — and they hope Lady’s tree-climbing adventures are now behind her.
