Well, as the original poster and dog owner's son, I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping us find Sasha. It is an absolute miracle and we are so blessed. To the rescuers, we are forever indebted to you and words cannot describe our gratitude. Your willingness to risk your lives and take your time to help us show that there are still amazing people in this world! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
To the poster who has made such a big deal of the fact that the dog was not on a leash, my mother has been the first to admit her mistake and has paid quite a heavy price as a result. Calling her names and acting as though you've never made a careless mistake (which based on your tone it seems as if you don't believe to have) is rather arrogant and uncalled for. There is no question that we all have been reminded of the importance of keeping dogs on a leash while climbing and I hope others can learn from our mistakes (that is, after all, how we learn)so as not to have to go through this themselves. And just to be clear, she did not "allow" the dog to "meet the goats." The were taking pictures at the top, and the goats came around a corner, the dog saw them and bolted before anyone could grab her.
In the spirit of not taking away from the wonderful deed done by the rescuers, hopefully we can stop focusing on the mistake that was made and start focusing on how selfless these great men and women are and all try to be more like them!
