Hiking Safely With Your Dog

One of our more common summertime response calls is for dogs taken along on a back-country hike, only to have them suffer an injury or be otherwise unprepared for the trail, far from the trailhead.

For even more information, visit Hiking with Dogs, courtesy of the Washington Trails Association.
