Although the world is pretty kiked right now, there’s still stuff here that hasn’t been ruined by the Jews, such as dogs.

Dogs are still cool.

New York Post:

A stray dog tagged along with a team of mountaineers, following them up to the top of the 23,389-foot peak in Nepal’s Himalayas – a first in the canine world.

Mera, a 45-pound Nepalese mutt thought to be a cross between a Tibetan mastiff and a Himalayan sheepdog, became the first dog ever to reach the summit of Baruntse on Nov. 9 last year, according to Outside magazine.

Billi Bierling of the Himalayan Database, an organization that documents climbing expeditions in Nepal, told the magazine that Mera’s feat could be the highest-recorded elevation ever reached by a dog anywhere in the world.

“I am not aware of a dog actually summiting an expedition peak in Nepal,” Bierling said.

Mera didn’t have any training to prepare her for the expedition, but that didn’t stop her from tagging along to keep her new friends safe.

The four-legged climber had joined a team led by mountain guide Don Wargowsky of Seattle on the tenth day of their strenuous month-long expedition to the peak.

The mountaineers were descending from a successful summit of Mera Peak when the dog – who they had seen a few days earlier – decided to join them at 17,500 feet.

At first it seemed like the expedition members only tolerated Mera because of Wargowsky’s taking to her, but the pooch quickly impressed the team with her impressive climbing skills, according to the mag.

“They’d never seen anything like this happen. They said she was a special dog, that she brought luck to the expedition,” Wargowsky told the outlet. “Some even thought she was blessed.”

At one point, however, Wargowsky said Mera spent two nights at one camp out in the open, alone on the glacier in the bitter cold.

“I was certain she was going to die up there,” he said.

But the dog prevailed, and trailed along with the team as they worked their way up to 22,500-feet before going back to the base camp.

“Imagine that instead of crampons, you have claws,” Wargowsky said. “Her feet were bloodied. She had busted knuckles and broken toenails. It was hard to see.”

During the trek, Wargowsky had tied Mera up at camp so she couldn’t follow them back up the mountain, but the canine chewed through the rope, catching up with the team less than a half-hour later.

“She just tucked in right behind me,” Wargowsky told the magazine. “And it’s not like I could leave the clients to take her back, so it meant she was going with us.”

There was a close call along the way.

Mera was ahead of Wargowsky when she started to slip, and a quick-thinking Wargowsky hung onto a fixed line on the mountain with one hand and grabbed Mera with the other as he prevented her from falling 600-feet, according to the magazine.

But that didn’t stop the dog from continuing on with the team.

Nothing will really stop dogs from continuing on with us.

Our relationship with them may not look very necessary today, but it certainly was necessary in the past. Dogs would keep guard at night and let us know if another tribe was about to attack, they’d detect intruders, they’d help us hunt, and they’d even help us fight.

They served us well, and we should return the favor by treating them fairly now that most of their services are no longer required by most people.

You never now when you may need them again.

The comfort of modernity may not last forever.

If you have a canine companion close to you, maybe pet them for a bit while you tell them the tale of Mera setting a dog world record.

Or better yet, high five them.

Good dog!

Dogs are one of God's greatest gifts to man.

“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
