Dear So-called dog lover, Leash your dog, though that won’t lead to publication in Outside, you won’t have to write a story like this. In my mind, you are a shit. I’m glad your dog lived. I’ve known for a long time that Australian shepherds are smarter than most people, and your story is another case in point. NOT Yr Pal, MK

My dogs almost invariably go ahead of me on a trail, most of the time on a retractable 26 ft. lead.
You shouldn’t go on a hike like that without being prepared for an unexpected night out. He could as easily have fallen as the dog.
I think the %$#@! just gave up too soon. Even if I couldn’t spend the night I would have left food and come back the next day.

I agree. would NOT have left my dog on the mountain, dead or alive. But I wouldn’t have taken my dog on a trail like that without knowing where he was at all times. Stupid f&*^. He was in bear and cougar country. Everything that dog could have done for HIM in a bad situation? Plus he owed that dog better treatment than the dog got. A man and a dog are a team (as you know). When I was young and foolish I got a lecture from a ranger that really woke me up. OH well.

There are little bits of loose thread in his story that have me scrutinizing the details. I could turn this into a detective story.

Very heartwarming story! I’m a dog parent myself and I can only imagine the panic that poor guy felt!
