When the Search and Rescue team arrived they learned that "Truman" the Golden Retriever was severely dehydrated and had cut his paws while hiking with his owner. The rescue team hiked deep into the Angeles National Forest, placed Truman on a gurney and wheeled him safely to his owner's vehicle. (Photos) Truman and his owner were very appreciative of the helping hands of the rescuers. Truman's veterinarian said he will soon recover.
Rescuers were glad to help Truman and his owner. They also want to remind human hikers to wear appropriate hiking shoes, and consider the hazards to dogs paws on hot days and rough terrain, especially if your dog spends a lot of time inside.
