Bodycam footage shows Coast Guard Air Station Astoria safely airlifted the injured dog from a secluded section of the beach "only accessible by repelling down from a hiking trail," the crew said via a Twitter thread.

Dory was reunited with her owner after the rescue and rushed to the vet. She is reportedly in stable condition.
