A rescue team has had to rescue a St. Bernard dog named Daisy after she got into difficulty on England’s highest mountain, in an unusual reversal of the traditional roles.
Daisy collapsed last Friday while descending from the summit of Scafell Pike in Cumbria, northwest England, so the 16-member rescue team scrambled to the scene and carried the 55kg dog down the mountain on a stretcher.
The dog had shown signs of pain in her rear legs and had refused to move, the Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team said on its Facebook page. Her owners had kept Daisy fed and well-hydrated while waiting for the team to arrive.
