CHAFFEE COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) – Mt. Princeton is proving not to be pup-friendly. This weekend marked the third time this year search and rescue has had to take a dog off the +14,000ft Chaffee County Mountain.
The North Chaffee County Search and Rescue posted these pictures on social media. The rescue team says they got the call at 2:38 PM and reached the Pup-ject at 4:36 PM. The team says the dog needed first aid for his paws, which is why they are taped up in the pictures above.
This marks the third rescue and sixth dog the rescue team has helped down Mt. Princeton this year.
This is a cautionary tail for all dog owners; Do your research before you go hiking!
