Firefighters in Arizona rescued a dog that overheated while on a hike with its owner on Wednesday afternoon, officials said.
The heat became too much for the 125-pound German shepherd named Diego when his owner and another pup were about three-quarters from the Tom’s Thumb Trailhead around 1:30 p.m. in Scottsdale, the Scottsdale Fire Department said.
First responders met the owner on the trail and began to cool and rehydrate the dog.
Crews carried Diego down a steep part of the trail and brought the owner and other dog down the trail on a utility terrain vehicle.
