As Seen on CNN

Three climbers who were trapped on Mount Hood were saved in part due to their black lab Velvet. Velvet was able to lie on top of them and keep them warm while they waited for help. Velvet was reportedly in the best physical condition of the group when they came down the mountain. She had minor cuts and abrasions on her back paws and legs from prolonged exposure to the snow, but she was cleared to go home. Further proof that dogs don't need booties or coats from Old Navy to brave the winter weather.
Why did these people drag their dog on this adventure I have no idea. Maybe a long hike in nice weather, but a mountain climb in the snow. They should have left the dog at home. But lucky for them they didn't.

I was thinking the same thing....why the hell are they hiking at 11,000 feet with a dog.
