Jennifer Benware, left, with Flathead County Animal Control, calms an adult dog that was stranded on a cliff along the Flathead River near Hungry Horse Friday. “I have never done a cliff rescue before. I was talking to it soft and approaching it slowly,” Benware said. Animal Control officer Carl Talsma watches from the North Valley Search and Rescue boat captained by Brant Griffith.
