Even the four-legged power balls of energy a.k.a dogs get tired from too much physical activity. No matter how much they wag their tails right before going outdoors, they are bound to sit in the middle of the road and not move when exhausted!
In a paw-dorable incident, an 86kg dog enjoyed a ride down from a hike on a stretcher pulled by a rescue team.
According to a report by Mail Online, the 3-year-old mastiff accompanied his owner on a hike up the Grandeur Park Trail located in Salt Lake City, Utah. However, the poor dog got injured and was stuck with his owner.
After several other hikers called the police and informed them that help was needed to bring down the dog and his owner, a rescue team was sent up the hike, reported News18.
The team helped the dog sit on a stretcher and he was carried down the mountain before it got too cold at night. The dog was a “good boy” and “happy to be assisted”, wrote the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue Team on Facebook.

Mastiffs are one of the largest dogs in the world and are often used as guard dogs. They are also known to accompany their owners on hikes and other strenuous outings. However, like any other animal, they can sometimes fall victims to injuries on the way.
Thanks to the rescue team, the dog enjoyed his way down the hill!
