When Shaun Roundy, a volunteer with Utah County Search and Rescue, heard that a neighbor's dog was stuck on a mountainside, he was happy to help.
Despite the team's efforts, Mary refused to go to them. As the sun set, everyone realized that staying any longer would put their own lives in danger.
Incredibly, before rescuers returned the next morning, Mary showed up on her owner's doorstep! How she managed to get up or down the mountain is a mystery.
To learn more about this pup and her rescue story, watch the video:
In the end, possibly energized by the food that was left for her, Mary was able to rescue herself. No one knows how she managed it but she walked home none the worse for wear. We can only imagine the greeting she got from her worried owner!
We applaud this brave man who risked his life for a darling dog, even if he could not pick her up and bring her home himself! However, we get the feeling Mary finally understood what he was trying to do and, with food in her belly, gave it her successful all to get home to those who love her!
