Avid hiker, Kelsey Colpitts, set out to hike the Lani Po Trail above Wilhelmina Rise Monday afternoon. She said she’s hiked the trail before, but this time, about 2.5 miles in, as she was nearing the top of the Koolau Mountain range, she heard something odd.

As I understand it this trail was blocked off to the public due to the dangerous trail conditions and because of this incident access to it is being dismantled,
Omg, I was just in Oahu last week, Jan 8-14th. Was gonna go hike Hamama Falls, which is near this place that this lady fell down in.
Why is the fire department too lazy to rescue a dog?
☝🏾❤️🤙🏾
This took a team of heroes & commited humans, from hiker to fire department going out, getting dog, not reaching owner & quickness to realize they should go look for someone. And doggie, of course! Scary at how many turns this could have failed.
Let this be a lesson for the fire department. Always trust the dog. Especially if it's somewhere that it shouldn't be on it's own.
God bless this women for not leaving even when the fire department originally said they couldn’t come out for a dog, and I’m grateful the fire department also having a change of heart and decided to come out anyway. You see how having a good heart led you to not only saving that beautiful pups soul, but also its humans too. Thank you to everyone who helped.
Dog was just trapped and hungry. Great job to HFD
Way to go hiker Way to go gentlemen thank you thank you thank you for using our resources thank you for thinking thank you for doing the job thank you this sounds like the islands in which I love the country which I love the people in which I love taking care of each other thank you
Aww, good dog…if not for the barking, it and the owner would've never been found. ❤
Aw; good dog.
The rescuer didn’t repel down the cliff. He rappelled.
God Bless You Kelsey for following your heart. Dogs save lives everyday and yet they say it’s only an animal.
Thank you Jesus!
This is why you follow your gut feeling.
❤ I'm so happy you made that call Kelsey and followed your intuition. Amazing story with a great ending ❤
True Aloha 🤙🏻
