A dog had to be carried down Scotland's largest mountain on a stretcher after struggling near the top of the summit in scorching heat. Maggie the 35kg Akbash got into difficulty high on the path up Ben Nevis on Saturday afternoon and was unable to move.
Thankfully, the Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team came to save her, armed with a casualty carer and chicken stick treats. Pictures show the furry pooch appearing grateful for her lift back down to the bottom of the mountain, where she was met with a big bowl of water.
