A man and his dog suffered only minor injuries after sliding 20-feet down a cliff near the 900 block of Sunset Cliffs Boulevard, according to San Diego Fire Department's Battalion Chief James Diaz.

Sunday night the fire department responded to a call of a man and his dog getting stuck at the bottom of a cliff just after 7:30 p.m.

Battalion Chief Diaz said that witnesses say the dog ran down the cliff and his owner followed him, which led to both of them sliding down about 20-feet, where they found themselves trapped at the bottom.

San Diego Fire Department crews were able to hoist up and rescue both the man and his dog in about an hour and a half.

The man was transported to the hospital with minor injuries.
