I am somewhat torn on this one. My feeling is you shouldn't bring up anything you can't carry down. And while he did make an attempt to initially rescue the dog, he gave up and didn't try to do anything more after the fact to save his dog. Amazing job by the guys over at 14ers.com for saving that dogs life. My feeling is that he doesn't deserve to get his dog back but shouldn't be prosecuted for animal cruelty.
My other point of this post is to ask others, what precautions do you take to ensure that you and your dog make it home safely whether hiking or in the backcountry?
