An exhausted dog with paw damage had to be carried down a mountain trail this week, prompting dog rescue volunteers to remind hikers about the risks and responsibilities involved in hiking with a dog.

According to a Facebook post, New Hampshire Paw Rescue was notified by the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) about the situation just after 3:30 p.m. on Monday. The report stated that Crosby, a 7-year-old golden retriever, required assistance at elevations of about 3,250 feet on the Old Bridle Path on the west side of Franconia Ridge.
