A canine which refused to stroll needed to be rescued from England’s highest mountain by a workforce of 13 in an operation which lasted greater than 4 hours.
The “injured and exhausted” pooch, who was reportedly named Rocky and of the Akita breed, remained “cool, calm and positively regal” all through the rescue by the Keswick Mountain Rescue workforce.
The rescue workforce have been allotted the job after the canine’s homeowners initially rang the police, requesting help after their pet refused to stroll on their return journey from Scafell Pike – England’s highest mountain within the Lake District.
Descending as finest as they might in direction of Grains Gill, a river close to the Esk Hause mountain go, the “cold” homeowners have been met by the rescue workforce who made the Akita “comfortable in a ‘casualty bag’ on the stretcher” earlier than carrying the animal again to the world of Seathwaite Farm.
A spokesperson for the Keswick Mountain Rescue workforce mentioned: “Despite being quite a large dog at 33kg it was a joy to carry such a relatively lightweight casualty.”

The National Trust web site warns that the lengthy and rocky terrain of Scafell Pike means it’s only appropriate for canines “used to long walks in the fells”.
It recommends introducing your canine to some simpler walks earlier than making an attempt to scale the mountain.
