Pictured Rocks park rangers learned about Dancer and enlisted the help of Superior High Angle Rescue Professionals, a local rope rescue team, to recover the dog. The next morning, the rescuers found Dancer, who was cold, but still alive after spending the night trying to keep warm and was excited to see the team.
Dancer, who has been described as a "professional troublemaker," has since been reunited with her Minnesota-based family and is recovering well, the NPS said.
