Recent Search/EMS – 3/3/2014

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the parking area on the Mt. Rose Highway for access to Tamarack Lake to search for two subjects with an injured dog.  One of the dog’s rear legs had been severely cut by a ski.  The GPS coordinates provided by the owner of the dog were putting them in a totally incorrect area, since they gave the location as Proletariat Bowl (east of Tamarack Peak).  The owner had told the 911 operator that the dog could not walk, they could not carry him, and they would not leave the dog behind.  Just as ground teams were leaving staging, the owners skied down to the highway, carrying the dog.  SAR personnel provided medical attention, and he was transported to a veterinarian in Reno.
