A very lucky dog that fell 10 metres off a bridge has another chance at life thanks to SES crews.
The team of volunteers rescued the dog, Rex, after he fell from a bridge on a remote road near Sutton Forest, in the NSW Southern Highlands, on Wednesday.
SES crews were notified about the injured pooch by a triple-0 call and found him with two broken legs.
The SES applied first aid before transporting him to a vet in Moss Vale.
The dog’s name was Rex and he was recently rescued from the pound.
However, SES volunteers decided to name him Lucky.
Lucky has a long recovery ahead of him before he makes a trip to his new home in Karatha, Western Australia.
The SES volunteers wished him a speedy in a Facebook post.
