I still can\u2019t believe this happened #dogs #dogowners #psa #neardeathexperence <\/p>\n
Just before Dexter is seen slipping off the ledge, Matt is heard telling the animal to be careful as ‘it’s kind of sketch’ in the area they were hiking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The couple – who go by @lovestruckadventures – wrote that they believe their dog’s life was saved by wearing a pack and staying on leash.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the 22 second clip, Dexter and the couple’s other dog are both seen walking through the forestry near an edge when Dexter begins to slip.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The couple’s other dog stays on top of the ledge while Dexter falls below the greenery and Matt immediately begins trying to save the animal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matt struggles for several seconds as he attempts to pull Dexter up while also managing the leash for the couple’s other pup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Luckily, he finally is able to pull the dark-colored dog back onto land with him where the dog appeared to be unbothered by the entire ordeal.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Commenters on TikTok shared their shock and astonishment at the rescue.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the American Kennel Club, hiking and walking are both great ways to keep dogs active but should be done with guidelines in mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The organization recommends always having your dogs wear their ID tags and a ‘sturdy six foot leash.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Additionally, they saw dogs should be kept on a leash to put other hikers at ease.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Unleashed dogs can quickly run off when tracking a scent and may disappear from your view very quickly,’ the American Hiking Society writes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n ‘Always use a leash so that you and your dog will finish your hike together safely and can hike again at another time,’ they say.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
