Archie, a 9-year-old yellow Lab, spent about two days missing before firefighters brought him off a mountain in Roanoke County, Virginia, on ropes, according to WSET and WFXR.
Archie “had taken a tumble and gotten stuck,” Roanoke County Fire & Rescue said, per WSLS. Crews from Station 11, plus heavy technical rescue teams from Stations 5 and 1, found him and carried out a rope rescue.
The search started Monday, Nov. 9. Archie was reported missing from his home by 1 p.m., and citizens and volunteers searched for about 48 hours, WFXR reported. His family said they heard him howling from a nearby mountainside.
First responders reached him just before 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, WFXR said. The station credited Roanoke County Fire and Rescue, Backridge Drone Services and volunteers. Owner Betsy Hill Hudson thanked the drone company on Facebook: “Special shout out to Backridge drone services.”
Archie is safe and “receiving appropriate care,” the rescue crews said. Angels of Assisi said he has a few bumps and bruises but is in good spirits, per WSLS. WFXR said he was back home resting by a fire.
The outlets differ on where he fell. WSET and WSLS say Poor Mountain, while WFXR calls it the Bent Mountain area.
Archie was not the only dog to wait out a long stretch before help arrived this fall. In Alaska, a poodle-husky mix named LouLou was found alive after 50 hours alone in the wilderness following an avalanche.

Roanoke County crews have carried a dog off a trail before. In 2020, they brought a 125-pound Akita named Nikko down from McAfee Knob Trail in a Stokes basket, according to an earlier WSLS report.
