A man's border collie helped a search and rescue team locate him after he fell 70 feet.
(CNN)A dog is being lauded as a "real-life Lassie" for leading rescuers to his owner after he fell during a hike.
The dog's owner, a 53-year-old man, fell nearly 70 feet during a hike with his canine companion on July 12 in Nevada County, California, according to a Facebook post from Nevada County Search and Rescue.
