Rescue Team Saves Injured Great Dane on B.C. Mountain

On September 13, a 10‑year‑old, 120‑pound Great Dane was hiking with her owners on Mount Macpherson near Revelstoke, B.C. The dog tore the pads on both of her front paws, according to Revelstoke Search and Rescue manager Ren Bassette.

The owners could not carry the large dog down the mountain, so they used the emergency SOS function on their phone to ask for help, Bassette said.

When the rescue team arrived, they first bandaged the dog’s injured paws. Then they placed her gently into a wheeled basket stretcher, Bassette explained.

Because the temperature was falling quickly, a nearby hiker lit a small fire to keep the dog and her owners warm while they waited for the rescue crew, Bassette added.

After the dog was secured on the stretcher, the owners walked behind her wearing extra clothing the team had brought. Around 1 a.m., the team loaded the dog and her owners into the owners’ vehicle, and Bassette reported that all three were doing well.
