Crews rescue dog trapped near Hollywood sign trail

Emergency crews responded to a trail near the Hollywood sign to rescue a dog trapped in a wooded area on Thursday night.

Authorities say the 45-pound husky was walking with its owner and another dog on the Wonder View Trail when it somehow fell off the steep trailside.


The dog fell down quite a distance but did not appear to be seriously injured.

At one point, a good Samaritan hiker entered the dense brush area and attempted to grab the dog, but the husky ran away.

The dog was seen roaming around until it eventually climbed up a shallower part of the trailside and was greeted by rescue crews on higher ground.
