I hope the dog is okay?

This is a long shot but I know but here it goes:

A while back (about 3 weeks ago) my mother was walking the dog up by Liam Mellows GAA club in Renmore, along by the cliff-top towards the barracks. The dog is quite a big husky and I suppose, if you weren't familiar with it..you (or as in this case, a small dog) could get scared by it. The dog was on a lead but it can be a little bit hyper. It's young and it's very social towards other dogs. Anyway, there was a couple walking towards my mother with their own little dog (which as far as I can tell was not on a lead). When it came near to my mother's dog it got spooked and started running. It must not have been looking where it was going because it ran off the cliff. The cliff isn't too high by human standards but it could be quite high by small dog standards. The owner ran down to it and picked it up. That was the last we heard of the incident because the owner rushed off with it. It wasn't my mother's fault but she did feel bad about the poor thing. I was asking her lately if she ever heard anything about it or if she ever bumped into the same couple again. She didn't so hence this post. Anyone know anything?

Yes, I wouldn't like to fall from it.. Or maybe it was where it has "2 levels/stages" like 2 small cliffs?? Anyways, Hope the dog was OK, some 'small' dogs can prove to be tough as fcuk and take a good blow...

She did wait around but the owner of the dog had to race off with it. She couldn't find out anything because the owner had left. It was approx. 3 weeks ago, not 3 months (from next post).
