Dog taken on desert hike dies

[AnimalFamily]

I hate reading stories like this. So sad and unnecessary.
Ignorance is not always bliss.
My guess is these guys loved their dog and probably liked to take he/she everywhere they went. Like many people do.
However, you have to be diligent and use some intelligence.
Your dog simply can't go everywhere you can go.
Of course, according to the article, one of the men was also showing signs of heat exhaustion.
I'm so sorry this story did not have a happy ending.
