Some days I am reminded that people are not all selfish assholes. This is one of those days.
Also who blew all this dust into the room?

Another example of the extraordinary bond between humans and dogs. It’s heart-warming, and amazing, the risks people will take to rescue dogs. Nice one fellas.

Hanging 1000 feet above a snowy mountain top? I could do that. I just don’t have the guts.

I’m just relieved that the rescuer had a firm hug and the dog wasn’t one of those wriggly worms as it looks like there was no mesh bag or harness for the little one!

Good dog!
Good rescuers!
Good use of technology and resources!
