San Bernardino County Fire Department firefighters answered an emergency call on Wednesday afternoon when a camper and his dog got stuck in the snow a few miles from the Pacific Crest Trail. The camper and his dog had food for several days when they were stuck in the snow when a snowcat was used to find the camper and his dog named Mud to rescue them and save their lives in Holcomb Valley where the camper and his dog were caught by surprise by a snowstorm.

That would have scared me because I’d hate for something to happen to my dog.

I think a dog should not be taken out in the s**w and cold to camp.
