At the Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team we recognize that our mission - “To Save Life and Relieve Distress” - extends beyond the local visitors and community who visit or live within our area of responsibility.
Our team members have pets and the team relies on our beloved research dog Jess, so we recognize the anguish that an animal can feel as well as that of its owners.
So, last night, when the Cumbrian police contacted us about a St. Bernard (Daisy) who had collapsed on his way down from the top of Scafell Pike, unable to move forward, our members didn't have to think twice about mobilizing and fielding for to help recover Daisy from the highest peak in England ”commented the heads of the Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team.
With a little persuasion and lots of bonbons, the volunteers managed to get Daisy to collaborate and transported the Saint Bernard to safety along the paths, as they are used to doing with humans.
Some photos of the team helping Daisy during last nights call out.(see incident report 28 for more details and a link to a video)
