- An SFPD drone operator located the stranded animal and relayed its position to firefighters.
- A rescuer from SFFD Station 19 rappelled down, secured the dog in a harness, and both were raised using a rope rigging system.
- The dog was uninjured after spending roughly 20 minutes on the ledge and was reunited with its owner.
- Rescue Captain Samuel Menchaca praised the outcome and urged leashes and use of marked paths at Fort Funston, and agencies posted video of the operation.
