A 47-year-old woman had to be rescued from a Bathurst Street and Sheppard Avenue ravine after she went looking for the family dog.
The woman noticed the dog had left home just before 2 a.m. on Wednesday.
She went looking for the beloved pet, but fell about 18 metres into a ravine near Gwendolen Crescent.
Her husband then noticed she was missing and followed her footprints in the snow.
Eventually, firefighters and paramedics were called, and firefighters rescued her using a rope.
She was taken to hospital with minor injuries. The dog was found safe at home.
