Brandon Garrett of Halfway was on his way to a campsite in the US state of Oregon with his four dogs when his car got stuck in an 85-foot-deep ravine, British media reported.
Mr. As Garrett fought for his life, his dog, Blue, crawled out of the wreckage of the vehicle. He walked the remaining miles to where his family was.

The man had to spend the night in the valley before authorities came to rescue him. He was airlifted to hospital.
