A search-and-rescue volunteer rubbed beef jerky on himself to lure a dog that fell 200 feet down an Altadena cliff to get the pooch to come close enough to be rescued late Tuesday.
The pup, a 2-year-old named Angel, amazingly only had scratches on his nose after the tumble.
Francine Banzali said, the dog's owner, said she was walking along a trail with Angel when she suddenly realized he was gone.
She spotted him trapped in a ravine hundreds of feet below her.
"I could hear him crying," she said.
Search-and-rescue crews worked to bring Angel to safety. Rescue crews rubbed beef jerky on themselves to lure Angel out to safety.
A rescuer rappelled down a hill to fit Angel with a harness and lift him to safety.

NBC4 was there the moment when Angel was reunited with Banzali.
"I'm so relieved," Banzali said. "Angel’s got to stay on a leash now."
