Compassion in action…helping one in need, no matter the species. Bless this man…may he inspire many more to be like him.
Sergio is a hero. Thank you Sergio!❤
You are one awesome guy!!! Thank you for saving fur baby ❤❤❤
The dog was ABANDONED, it wasn't lost.
Thank You!
I wonder if the owner ever heard of a leash.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Sergio. Sadly, suspect owner. Hope someone is monitoring Stevie.
God bless to that man 👏❤️
Right on Serge! Excellent! U deserve to PR in ur next race!
That dog was abandoned you stupid reporters.
What a man, what a man, what a mighty good man. ❤
so the dog was given back to the owner who (dumped) lost it…disgusting.
should never have been given back to irresponsible owner. Obviously had not looked for her or asked other mountain climbers to look for her. Disgraceful and does not deserve to have the dog back.
Puppies!!
I hope I’m wrong but I don’t believe that irresponsible owner “lost her on a walk”, I think she was dumped, and I hope that person doesn’t dump her there again. Animal welfare needs to follow up!
So worry for this dog going back to her owner. This adorable baby is tremendously underweight. It doesn’t seem right 😢 Hope this rescuer goes back to adopt this fur baby 😢🙏🏻❤️
Good man! 🙏👍
Thanks for being a hero and finding her owner. Her owner didn't show themself. The dog didn't look happy to be home. Any loving parent would have run out and been elated. Thank goodness someone had brains enough to give her water. No love was given to her. This hiker got his exercise. She obviously wasn't fixed either. You need to do a follow up.
Was the owner looking for him I would have been looking and ask my friends to help I hope the dog is well I would have liked the owner to show up and explain how he lost his dog😢
You fulfilled one of your many purposes God has in store for your beautiful LIFE. Thank you and very well done sir.👍🇺🇲🦴🐾🐾😀
Thank you for rescuing her! ❤
Thank the Lord for humans such as you! Mahalo plenty….
Thank You!
I would have loved to see Stevie and her owners reunion!
Poor, poor dog. This man is my hero (and obvious hero to the pup). I wish everyone was as compassionate & empathetic as he is.❤
Good man.
Hero❤🙏🏻🐶💪🏻🤙🏻
Thank you for save her❤❤❤
Why did dhe not have a collar on,😢 this sh😢have been investigated before she was just handed over. She looks neglected. Much more so than 3 days in the open woukd inflict 😢😢😢
Dude you rock. Didn't think twice about helping that dog and what it would take to get her down the mountain.
So sad he gave her back to the owner.
God bless.
I am bawling right now!❤😢
How long had. The dog been missing? So curious about more of the story.
NOBODY would have left that dog there.. fortunately he was there when she was…☝️
Stevie thought her owner abandoned her and there she was laying with no hope. You could see she had given up. I don’t understand how you could lose a dog in the first place. I hope she’s wearing a leash if they take her again.
I’m so glad he found her. It’s too bad he couldn’t keep her, she deserves much better.
Aww poor Stevie…I hope the owner is loving and takes care of her. 🙏🏼🐶🐕
Solid indeed! 🤜💥🤛
So what idiot takes their dog out there with no collar, and no chip presumably?
Sergio need to follow about Steve, what about the family oh my god protect steve
Not all heros wear capes ❤
The owner lost her on a walk? 😑
❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤thank you so much. You are an absolute hero!
Anyway, you can't lose a dog on a walk. A dog can hear and smell where you are and just wouldn't run off far! It does seem they left him there
Although it Is nice of h8m, everyone's saying what a nice man. Ummmm, no, because this is the normal reaction of a human being. Anyone NOT doing what he did is nothing but a monster!
Bless him!
