The pair realized they were stuck up to their thighs about the time they spotted Foster.They called police who could not reach them on the ground.

A state police helicopter was dispatched. police brought one of the women up in a harness and the other and the dog in a basket.

These women were reported to be doing fine. they decided the dog is expected to recover.
