Colorado is a great place for winter sports. It’s a skier’s paradise with lots of sunshine, mountains and snow. However, every sport carries some risk, and skiers must always be prepared for avalanches.

Very lucky dog ​​escaped death from an avalanche

Recently, an avalanche caused by a skier in Monarch Pass, a high pass in Central Colorado, swept away a skier and his dog.

The skier quickly opened the airbag before being buried under the snow, but lost track of his four-legged friend in the midst of the chaos.

Both the skier and the skier made it through the avalanche unhurt, but the dog did not.

Its owner was very sad, went to search but failed. He thought the dog had died after the incident. Everyone left the scene together after giving up hope of finding.

Brian Lazar, of the Avalanche Colorado information center, said: “We searched everywhere, the rescue team went to the scene to check but couldn’t find any trace.”

However, a miracle happened after many days of missing, people found the dog at the top of the trail on Monarch Pass. No one knows exactly what happened to the dog and only know that the owner and everyone in the rescue team cannot believe this is true. The meeting with the owner and the dog moved everyone.

Brian Lazar shared that this is not the first time an animal has survived an accident in the Colorado mountains, but the incident is very rare. According to Brian Lazar, skiers should prepare a tracking device to wear when taking their pets to this area to ensure safety.

In case of missing or trapped, buried in the snow, thanks to that device, the rescue team can still rescue.

“Things would be easier if the skiers kept an eye on their pet, put on the gear. We still don’t know exactly what happened to this dog and I’m sure only he knows.” , said Brian Lazar.
