Piran the loyal Black Cat from Cornwall is being hailed as a hero for helping rescuers find his owner who had taken a stumble and fallen into a ravine.
Cornwall, England (19 August 2021) – Cats are not often considered “loyal” pets due to their independent and often indifferent natures, compared to their canine counterparts, we can understand why. One loyal feline is changing public debate by showing his loyal side.
Piran, a black cat from Cornwall, England, used his voice to alert a search and rescue team to the whereabouts of his 83-year-old owner.
The Bodmin Police have shared the heartwarming story on their Facebook page and it has gone viral. According to the Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service, Piran caught the attention of a neighbour by meowing near the pathway that led to where his owner had disappeared.
“This afternoon Officers from Bodmin were tasked to conduct a search for a missing 83-year-old female.
The female was located by a member of the public who had spotted the female’s cat, meowing in the corner of a large maize field near to her home address.
The elderly female had fallen approximately 70ft down a very steep embankment, with incredibly difficult access and uneven terrain.
Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service were in attendance, along with their specialist water rescue team, Cornwall Air Ambulance, and SWAST, and the female was hoisted back up to the field on a stretcher via line rescue. She was then taken to hospital via the Air Ambulance in a stable condition.
Piran the cat saved the day!”
The woman was safely removed from where she had fallen and taken to the local hospital for medical care. She is making a good recovery and the town are getting ready to welcome her home. No one is more excited than her little hero Piran.
