Hopefully this dog will find another home other than where it came from. In the years I've been hiking this park I have had several similar experiences where I have come upon a lonely exhausted dog deep in the backcountry and had them follow me out. One hound followed me for a day and a half coming off Gregory Bald to the Twenty Mile ranger station where I found a boar cage to put him in with some water and then I contacted a ranger. Thanks to these folks this dog will know another day.

Laurel Falls Folks
The fine folks in this photo found this emaciated dog trying to make it's way somewhere. The dog was one like many that are often turned loose in the park by the local owners to run big game out of the park and/or training them to do so at a later date. These folks walked with, carried, and led the dog to the trailhead where I had contacted a ranger to pick-up the exhausted hound.
