Stray dog climbs Himalayan Mountain.
#1
A stray dog in Nepal got involved with a group climbing a Himalayan mountain. She followed them on the climb and became the first dog to reach the summit. It wasn't actually an Everest Climb, but it was still pretty high.

Stray dogs in Nepal are not well treated because of a fear of rabies. This dog gained the respect of the guides and climbers. 
She has since been adopted by the expeditions base camp manager. 

This is not the first time a dog has joined people in their endeavors. Not long ago, Gobi the dog, joined a marathon runner in the Gobi desert. These are clever dogs. They are joining humans and creating bonds that ultimately lead to a permanent home.

Mera is amazing and her climbing skills are truly impressive. What a great story.

What a pity Mr Warkowsky couldn't arrange to have her flown out to join him. It seems maybe she made a bee-line for him. But it is great that the sherpa adopted her. I wish her a long and happy life.

It would have been nice if Mr. Warkowsky could have adopted Mera. However, she is a dog from the Himalayan Mountains. Maybe it would have been hard for her body to adapt to lower altitudes. She is safer in her own environment.

Dogs just seem to want to be with us. No wonder they make such good service animals. It seems to be their instinct to help people. Maybe dogs are just kind hearted people who want to help a less capable species, one that they worry about.

Maybe this dog worried about them climbing the mountain and was wanting to protect them. Or else he just likes people and enjoys doing things with them.
