Adrenaline makes many people perform miracles. You’ve probably heard of the woman who lifted a truck to save a man who had been hit by it. Or the story of a man who ran into a burning house to save three children and came out unharmed.
In this story, the hero was a single mother who carried a 24-kilogram dog on her back for six hours to save her. This happened when one day she was climbing the slope of Mount Table Rock, 3,000 meters high, with her 76-year-old father.
It was there that they spotted a dog that fell off a cliff and broke its paw. Tia and her father were already about a third of the way there, but Tia wasn’t about to leave the animal to die. The poor dog was not moving well due to his injuries, and Tia realized that she would never be able to go down the mountain on her own.
It was then that she decided to pick up the dog and carry it on her shoulders. So she carried it for six hours. Tia said that the Springer Spaniel was in poor condition. She suggested that he could be on the mountainside for several days or even a week.
Tia said it was one of the hardest things she had to do. She walked almost 10 kilometers, which took her six hours. They got lost twice, caught in the rain. However, it was worth it. She ended up saving the life of a Springer Spaniel.
The dog was given emergency treatment as soon as Tia was able to get her down the mountain. Boomer (as the dog was called) is already recovering. He is happy that he met Tia on this mountain.
