00:51We struck the jackpot within about an hour.

00:54So we were out there searching, and as we made our way up the river, we could see the dog

00:58in the thermal.

00:59And then we could visually see it.

01:01And yeah, so we just dropped one of our passengers off to lighten it up.

01:05And it was a pretty tight little spot.

01:07We managed to get down low enough that our crewman, Wayne, could get out.

01:12Molly the dog was just sitting on a little ledge under a rock trying to stay out of the rain.

01:16And she knew what we were up to.

01:19I think she behaved herself real well.

01:21She didn't run away.

01:22She was pleased to be rescued, I think.

01:34I sent a message out through the satellite network to her owner.

01:39She'd been found, and she said, I can't believe it.
