"The dog probably saved their lives" by lying across them during the cold night, said Erik Brom, a member of the Portland Mountain Rescue team. He described the wind in the canyon as "hellacious."
Apparently the dog, Velvet, is more intelligent than the morons who took him to Mount Hood. That's animal abuse. Specifically, dog abuse goes like this:
1. Designer booties on paws
2. Dressing them in pink
3. Belonging to Paris Hilton
4. Climbing Mount Fucking Hood
They never found two of the other three people lost up there. Although it is no Everest and there are not as many deaths as there are at Everest, I think that if you want to die that badly, you should get your wish. Ditto for Nascar, sky diving and driving in the rain in L.A. behind a Chinese woman. Consider yourself warned.
End of chat.
I'm with you, Suz. The idiots who decide to climb M F Hood in the winter need to leave their poor dogs at home.
ReplyDeleteRight on.
ReplyDeleteI also saw another excellent example of people wanting to die, but not getting their wish: three hosts of the British show "Top Gear" had to drive through Alabama after being challenged to paint their cars with these slogans: "Hillary for President," "Country & Western is Rubbish / Nascar sucks," and "Man-on-man love OK." After being chased & pelted with rocks by angry rednecks in the obligatory pick-ups, the Top Gear Brits had to pull over and scrub the slogans from their cars.
That's hilarious.
