Alerted by a post from a local dog group, he contacted them and learned about the dog trapped on a cliff on a canyon edge near Bliss. E is known to actively rescue dogs. Other agencies including law enforcement were unable to help. He planned and executed the rescue with the help of a fellow volunteer and rock climber, Richard Jensen. A local had managed to give the dog some water until he was rescued by this duo.
They managed to gain his trust and brought him down. Wright immediately had him vaccinated and took him to Windswept Kennels to be cleaned up. His wounds were superficial but he was infested with fleas.
The brave dog trapped on a cliff has been named Clifford. The rescue has received a generous amount of donations which will help cover the cost of the rescue, food and the medical bill. Clifford is now recovering at a foster home in Twin Falls.

Wright plans to put him up for adoption once he recovers from his minor wounds, if no owner claims him.
