    Missy, a German Shepherd mix, was found abandoned at the top of a 14,000 ft. Colorado mountain. A group of strangers rescued her by hiking up there during a storm, making a makeshift sling and carrying her all the way back down.

    Great use of gear in an emergency. Big kudos to the people that went to rescue the dog. Don't want to jump to any conclusions but the people that abandoned Missy should be ashamed of themselves if they did so intentionally.

    ENO rocks, heart-melting story! Love my SN, the sad thing is I immediately looked to see if that ENO had been modified with new suspension. Hey, the standard-issued, heavy biner and larksheaded line held up, thats for sure

    Perhaps the dog is the survivior? Maybe her owner wasn't so lucky.

    Ha, that's funny, I did the exact same thing! Forget about the heroic rescue, the adorable dog, and the heart-warming story, what kind of mods did the hammock have?
    I also immediately called my wife over "See honey, hammocks save lives!"
    I'll use any argument I can get to justify my addiction.
    "God, grant me the serenity to accept the places I cannot hang,
    Courage to hang in the places I can, (but probably shouldn’t)
    And wisdom to know the difference."

    Think about the owner of the hammock and how we are fond of said, hammocks! That some hammock person sacrificed their pride and joy for that dog. God bless them!

    I'd gladly sacrifice all of my gear if I knew it would help save a puppy.

    I hope Missy finds a forever home.
