When a climber took a dog with him to the mountains, he clearly did not expect that everything would turn out like this.
North is an Alaskan Malamute, and he feels even better in the mountains than on the plains.
But this trip turned out to be unlike many previous ones. And the entertainment for two friends almost ended in tragedy.
They have already climbed to a height of 1700 meters; snow and ice began to begin here – when suddenly the owner of North was injured.
The climber could not continue climbing, and he could not descend either. The man managed to call for help, but it took a long time to wait.
The night began, a snowstorm arose, and a team of 27 rescuers could not make their way up through the rubble, ice and fallen trees.
When the sun went down, the temperature in the mountains dropped sharply, and the owner of North began to freeze.
He could not move to warm himself, and it was not known how many hours it would take the rescuers to find him.
Fortunately, he was not alone.
A faithful dog lay down next to him. North curled up on his owner’s abdomen and began to intensively generate heat.
The closeness of a friend calmed and warmed the climber – so they lay until dawn: a wounded climber and a shaggy dog.
Closer to midnight, rescuers made their way to the climber, and in the morning the owner of North received help.
They managed to lower the man down, and the Malamute did not leave his side.
The rescuers who found this touching scene were amazed to the core.
“In this example, we all need to learn how to take care of each other,” one of them said.
North stayed with the owner for thirteen hours, and did not leave him, even when help came. Only when the man was taken to the hospital, the dog went home.
Now a good boy is in the family circle, and he is fed with treats and scratched behind his ears without ceasing, because he saved the owner’s life.
