Thought this was worth a share. This dog sounds incredible.

Definitely an incredible dog and a very cool story. Polar shares a similar but much tamer story. I found Polar as a stray in a little mountain village when I was guiding in China (she most likely got lost from her previous owner), and she climbed the 17,7000 feet Haxaxushan with me. When I came back to the US I brought her with me.

We don't want to hear about the time your dog did a fourteener.

Loki has some big paws to fill...

Wow! Incredible story! Thanks for sharing.

A friend of mine was on this trip. He said the dog was pretty amazing.

I have myself witnessed and shared a summit with a dog. Not quite 7000m but it was on Aconcagua which is just shy of that.

but this is perhaps the highest-recorded elevation ever reached by a dog anywhere in the world.

Well the Russians sent a dog to space so they're wrong.

Well technically, space would be out of this world.

I laughed at this too, but Sophie (Kushner's dog) is pretty damn impressive. She's done something like 150 14ers, including some difficult scrambles and winter routes.

Careful. You don't want to start a thread about a dog going up the LB hourglass...

Impressive but if measuring by peaks per pound Zero has everyone beat. 50 peaks over 13k and something like 65-70 ranked total. So she's at least 8 peaks per pound of dog.
