The Summit County Rescue Group is asking hikers to consider their dogs' limitations after a pair of pups had to be rescued from Quandary Peak last week. This Great Pyrenees summited the peak but couldn’t continue down due to exhaustion and torn pads on its paws. Photo from Summit County Rescue Group Dogs serve as valuable companions for many rescue workers in Summit County, responding to dangerous slides with the Colorado Rapid Avalanche Deployment team and helping to sniff out lost hikers in the backcountry. But sometimes it’s the dogs that need rescuing, as was the case last week when Summit County Rescue Group volunteers helped a pair of exhausted pups off Quandary Peak.
