My 15 year old Hurricane Katrina rescue dog sometimes runs along beside me but I can't picture her doing this:
In November 9, 2018, a dog named Mera became the first of her kind to reach the summit of Baruntse, a 23,389-foot peak in Nepal’s Himalayas, located just south of Mount Everest. The peak, often overlooked as it lies in the shadow of some of the tallest mountains in the world, is a steep, challenging climb in its own right. Other than a brief human-aided zip line down a short section of fixed line, Mera made the ascent completely unsupported.

Dogs are amazing because they have a positive attitude, never feel sorry for themselves. If they lose a leg or an eye they don’t say I can’t do that anymore, they say hey, I can still do this.
