Pictured Rocks park rangers learned about Dancer and enlisted the help of Superior High Angle Rescue Professionals, a local rope rescue team, to recover the dog.

Dancer, who has been described as a "professional troublemaker," has since been reunited with her Minnesota-based family and is recovering well, the NPS said.
