A puppy had a lucky escape after fire crews were called to lift her to safety when she somehow got herself stuck 50ft up on a precarious cliff ledge. Nine month-old cocker spaniel Ruby had run off after being involved in a road crash on Sunday afternoon and survived three days alone before being rescued from a quarry on Wednesday. Her owners Scott Alderson, 25, and his girlfriend Becky Hall, 20, were at Flappit Quarry in Denholme, West Yorkshire, to be reunited with Ruby and have thanked West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Reunited: Scott Alderson and Becky Hall with their treasured dog Ruby after she was rescued by fire fighters . Precarious: The nine-month-old cocker spaniel was trapped 50ft up on this cliff on the edge of an old quarry . They had searched frantically for their missing dog and posted appeals on social networking sites after she had ran into the quarry following the minor accident. At around 2.15pm on Wednesday, an eagle-eyed dog walker spotted Ruby on the ledge in the quarry, stranded 50ft up. A Technical Rescue Team from Cleckheaton Fire Station rushed to the scene and abseiled down to rescue Ruby and used a pet tube to transport her up the cliff. Specialist Technical Rescue Officer Andy Clayton said: 'She was in a precarious situation. She was right in the middle of the cliff face - 50ft from the top and bottom. 'She did not move a muscle during the rescue - she was frozen solid. But she is fine now. She was eating biscuits afterwards. 'This was a very unusual call-out. The fact that the dog was spotted is unbelievable.' Rescue operation: A Technical Rescue Team from Cleckheaton Fire Station rushed to the scene and abseiled down to rescue Ruby and used a pet tube to transport her up the cliff . 'The firefighters were amazing': Miss Hall and Mr Alderson hailed the bravery of the men who rescued their dog . Specialist Technical Rescue Officer Peter Lau said: 'Ruby had a very lucky escape. The potential was there that she could have been very seriously injured or worse.' Ruby was taken to the vets for a check-up and was found to be fine other than exhaustion and dehydration. Miss Hall, from Halifax, West Yorkshire, said: 'Watching the rescue was terrifying. I could not believe that she was up there in the first place. 'It was amazing to get her back in our arms. The vet said that if she became too exhausted and collapsed she would probably have fallen. 'The firefighters were amazing. It was really daring what they did. We are just so grateful and every single one of them was absolutely tremendous.' Mr Alderson, from Keighley, added: 'We were scared that she might fall but she stayed there. The firefighters were brilliant. I just can’t believe where she was.'
