They finally arrive

A perfect plan

There was no way he could walk so they had to get creative. That’s when Sean decided he could put the pup inside of his backpack and carry him for another seven-hour hike. That’s commitment.

It wasn’t easy

Of course, if they were going to spend all this time with the dog, he’d need a name. So, they called him Sandy. Since the trail was quite steep and rocky, and now with a pup in tow, they had to be extra careful making their way back.

Home sweet home

At last, they were home. But first, Sean needed to have Sandy checked by a vet. Fortunately, he didn’t have any major injuries but he was still incredibly weak. For several days, all he did was lay around and sleep. Then, he began to perk up.
