In a statement on social media, the team said: “Yesterday afternoon, the team headed out to Glen Dessary to assist a dog who’d sustained injuries from a significant fall on craggy ground.

“Team members were able to drive a good distance to the furry casualty; however, some on-the-fly maintenance needed to be carried out to make some of the bridges passable to team 4x4s.

“With the casualty packaged in a stretcher and made comfortable, the team was able to carry the injured hound back to the vehicles, where we were able to meet with a vet.

“We’d like to wish our casualty and his humans the very best with their recovery.”
