Earlier thread with pictures. The difference between him and the rescuers, is that the ones who found her organized a rescue attempt to return to get her down.

That photo reminds me of being on a Xcountry hike across the Big Cypress in So.Fl. Found an abandoned hunting camp with a skin and bones Weimaraner that could hardly stand up.

We split up one guy’s load and he packed it out and kept it. The dog grew to be a monster size and would wipe out two king loaves of bread at a sitting if he could get his paws on it.
