I liked this bit in the article:
"The couple, who did not have clothing or camping supplies, was cold when they were picked up, but were said to be doing fine."
"They are editer desrevs a english spelt and gramma chequer!"The question I have is "why didn't the couple notice the dog was having foot pad problems earlier and either discontinue the hike or treat him earlier?" They could have saved the dog, themselves and their rescuers a whole lot of grief.
