This is amazing. What this poor dog went through! But he was so sure that his owner would come back for him that he waited!
For three cold, rain-lashed days and nights Diff the dog shivered on a narrow mountain ledge, faithfully waiting for his owner to rescue him.
Animal experts believe that if the 150lb bull mastiff felt he had been abandoned he would have probably tried to clamber up the cliff – and fallen to his death.
But Diff apparently knew that his owner, bushwalker David Gibson, would come back for him, despite the atrocious, unseasonal weather and the dangerous location on the side of Mt Maroon in Queensland, Australia.
