Thanks to the quality of their equipment, their know-how and their coordinated efforts, they were able to reach the dog, secure it, then reassemble it before returning it to its owner.
The operation was a total success. The success is all the more to be welcomed as the position of the animal on the branch was precarious and the slightest clumsiness could tip everything upside down.
