An 'incredibly lucky' black Labrador survived a 50ft fall over a reservoir dam - suffering only a broken leg and minor cuts.
The 20-month-old pet became panicked after losing his family during a festive family walk through a woodland and retraced his steps back to the Burrator Reservoir in Dartmoor, before vaulting over the wall.
Oban, known as Obi, fell into the valley below and was not found until hours later when a search and rescue team was mobilised to help find him.
Incredibly, he suffered nothing more than a broken leg and cuts.
