Squirrel-chasing dog’s high flight surprises owner A playful squirrel-chasing dog named Tiger made headlines after climbing a 50-foot-high tree while chasing a squirrel on his family’s property at Wabamun Lake, west of Edmonton.

A normal day turned into a major feat for a squirrel-chasing dog

Tiger, a one-year-old coonhound cross, was enjoying her favourite activity of chasing squirrels on Sunday when things took an unexpected turn. According to her owner, Sasha Marks, Tiger was focusing on a squirrel in the spruce trees as usual.

“I went outside with her, and she was looking at a squirrel,” Marks said. “I walked away a little bit, and when I turned around, my squirrel-chasing dog was missing.”

When Marks looked up, she couldn’t believe her eyes. Her squirrel-chasing dog, named Tiger, was sitting 50 feet up in a willow tree — something she had never done before.

Rescuing squirrel-chasing dog from danger

Fearing that Tiger might fall and hurt himself, Marks quickly laid mattresses at the base of the tree. Without help from his family, he called local firefighters to help rescue his courageous squirrel-chasing dog’s.

“When they got there and saw the situation, they said, ‘Yeah, it’s a dog up in a tree,'” Marks said. Firefighters were equally shocked by the skuirrel-chasing dog’s determination, but got to work to save him.

Firefighters safely rescue squirrel-chasing dog

Rescuers used a ladder to get Tiger down safely. Marks explained how his squirrel-chasing dog was relieved to be taken down and safe, although he was a little cold.

“Tiger was happy to be back on solid ground,” Marks said. “But I’m nervous about letting my squirrel-chasing dog go near that tree off-leash again. Now that she knows she can climb it, I’m afraid she’ll try to do it again.” Squirrel-chasing dogs learns a lesson Tiger’s climbing adventure ended safely,

but Marks hopes her squirrel-chasingg dog has learned that climbing trees isn’t as easy as it seems. For now, Tiger’s actions serve as a reminder of just how far a playful dog will go to chase a squirrel. This unforgettable adventure shows that a determined squirrel-chasingg dog can really aim high – sometimes too high!
