It's amazing that dog is willing to die bye his master. The loyalty a dog has, Is unmatched. There lots of people that will say that there 100% loyal. Not like my Dog.
Does Ranger need a home?
The narrative should be about the dead person, not this dog…
Be careful in nature
You got this Ranger.
The difference between cats and dogs . Your dog thinks " he feeds me and pets me and keeps me warm , he must be a GOD " your cat thinks " he feeds me and pets me and keeps me warm , I must be a GOD "
Poor sweetheart. I'm so glad that there was somewhat of happy ending for ranger and that he was able to go home to his mom. I just had watched missing 411: hunted. All about people going missing. It's pretty informative and worth checking out.
That poor pup had a look like I have seen things he probably will stay on his owners grave 🪦.
Donald i hope u found peace. 🌹🍃
All animals are loyal and unique. There not dumb.
Nooooo smh 🤦♀️ rip to this man and hope this dog can smile again
We hope for a full recovery for Ranger. Is there another human in his home? That person will need comfort, loving and companionship which ranger can give. These stories of solitary hikers disappearing are mounting as the weather improves. Terribly sad. Thanks to all the human and dig volunteers in saving one of these lives.
should give that dog, a dog collar made out of meat
This brought tears to my eyes. I was bonded like that to my dog Dori. It is an amazing gift to be loved by an animal.
At least he didn't die alone.
Many of us dont have a chioce
It took them six days?
Try harder next time.
There is a similar story about an elderly man who died. His relatives kept looking for the man's cat. They could not find him. On the day if the man"s funeral ,they saw the cat waiting by the open grave. After the funeral the cat turned and walked away! 😭🐈⬛🐈🐈🐈🐈⬛
There was a Confederate officer who died in Gettysburg. When his widow visited Gettysburg ,the spot where her husband died, the dog laid down and refused to leave that spot! I believe the dog died there too! Very sad story! 😭YANKEE here but that story really got to me!!!!!
Good Dog. If only humans showed this kind of love and loyalty but the Consciousness of Humans makes the EGO get in the way.
Stay on the trail. Simple rule. If trail fades, turn around.
Sad but heartwarming. Makes me feel a tiny bit better about life on earth which is exactly what I needed after last weeks horrible news in Buffalo NY. Maybe dogs are more than we deserve as a species that kills it’s own kind because of skin color, nationality, or a thousand other isms.
I hate that the hiker past away. He must have been a special guy because his dog stayed with him. 😢 Bless them 🙏🏾 both.
GPS Beacons save lives people. Just go buy one even if u dont think u will need it / use it & carry it with u at all times. Its not hard. Just do it. Most people who have them while hiking make it out alive regardless if they become lost or not so long as they have appropriate amounts of food & water
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm glad the dog is Ok! Great story!

God love that sweet baby. 😔
Add my YouTube channel dog's in America Vietnam today
Age slows down our ability to balance and maintain secure footing . Some times I almost trip over my own feet. Ha ha!!
Ok
That dog was ready to lay it down and die with his owner
Wow. My friends abandon me when I run out of money. Good dog.
That's because they lack the intelligence to survive on their own, especially in the wild.
Humans have taken an organism that was once much more intelligent and independent and breed it to be dependent on humans.
dogs even have smaller brains that wolves.
we dont deserve the love they give us
