Recently, a group of volunteers rescued a dog named Louie, who got stuck for 4 days on a mountain near Chilliwack, British Columbia. The dog was with the owner’s daughter Janessa, who couldn’t get him back down from the mountain.
Janessa’s step-mother, Amanda McGregor, posted last Wednesday on the Facebook page of a local hiking group, looking to hire a hiker to save him. One volunteer, Iain Harvey saw the post and offered to help for free.
“I was a little nervous on trying to figure out if we were going to be able to bring the dog down. The dog was about 90 pounds,” he said.
Volunteers rescued the dog
Harvey and some other volunteers hiked up several kilometers of steep terrain. They rescued Louie, put him on a stretcher and carried him down the mountain.
McGregor says that words can’t express her gratitude to those who saved Louie, her daughter’s “best friend.”
It turned out, Louie had badly-skinned paws and several injuries on his body.
“If he’d have stayed another day, he would have died,” she said.
Harvey says he feels “really fortunate that everyone was able to come together and make it happen.”
