Is there such a thing as a dog harness for climbing?

[cavebear]

Reading houdems post got me wondering if dog harnesses exist for rescue or retreival purposes?

Anyone know?

And if so where can you get them?

yeh there is a harness of sorts. I helped a buddy with some Plotts stuck and they had a harness.....used the local climbing gym guys...dogs stuck in a hole off of a ledge. I thought they mentioned Ritcey had lent them it.......guys used a zip line to pull dogs accross.....it was a fun day.....old scoot and his bad back is a bit afraid of hights

there are pictures but I never took any....

I knew I saw this someplace before. Never used one. I try to stay away from cliffs.

I saw those pics, I thought they were Ritceys hounds?

My buddy got his first dog from him years ago... said all he (Mike) runs is plotts now.
Quite the hole they were in !!
