Firefighters spent about 90 minutes yesterday morning searching for a dog that fell off Wiliwilinui Trail atop Wai'alae Iki Ridge yesterday afternoon but could find no sign of the animal, fire Capt. Terry Seelig said.

A call for help was received about 6:40 p.m. Sunday after the owner reported the dog had gone off the trail and tumbled about 300 feet.

Searchers looked for the dog until dark Sunday and agreed to resume the search yesterday morning.

Seelig said the Fire Department's helicopter and pilot and its Rescue One team participated in yesterday's search along with the dog's owner beginning about 6 a.m. Seelig said the search was officially suspended after the latest effort failed to turn up any trace of the dog.

"If any new information is received, then we would reopen the search," Seelig said.
