If you have ever hiked with Sophia and/or Morgan, you know their dog Whiskey.

On 8/17, Whiskey was hurt in a terrible accident. This adventurous pup was enjoying a day at a local rock climbing spot when a rock slide was triggered. Poor Whiskey was in the direct path, unable to move fast enough before getting hit by a small boulder. It was quickly discovered that his front right paw was crushed on impact, causing an open fracture with arterial bleeding. His owner and friends rushed into action using the gear available to apply a tourniquet and wrap the wound, but bleeding still continued. He initially could not be safely moved, so El Paso Search and Rescue was called to safely extricate him. But when we were told it could be hours, four people ended up assisting Whiskey down the steep and now very loose approach as time was a critical factor with the amount of bleeding. Two partners were able to meet the group partway down and further assist with carrying him before eventually meeting with Search and Rescue. The El Paso team surprised us with a speedy response time and further stabilized Whiskey for his owner and friends to get him to the nearest emergency vet for treatment. We cannot thank the El Paso Search and Rescue team enough.
