What began as a simple day run turned into a life-threatening, month-long ordeal when a man lost his way in a Washington state park.
Robert Schock set off on July 31 with his dog, Freddy, intending to complete a 20-mile run but soon realized the North Cascades National Park trail he remembered was altered, leading him off course. "I'm not a hiker... I want to finish a course as fast as I can and come back home," he told PEOPLE, recalling his minimal supplies: just shorts, a small backpack, and his dog's pan.
