Maybe if they did they would  have acted differently but maybe not. Dogs have become like humans to many of us. [/quote]

I would never leave my dog behind to die alone.

Darwinism for dog owners. [/quote]

I’d rather die with my dog than live with sh1theads like you.

You'd risk your baby's life to save a dog?[/quote]

I wouldn’t leave the dog out tied up alone. Parents could split up.

Seems like they did. It didn’t work. [/quote]

I don't think they did. According to reports, they have only mentioned the water on the husband. If they split up, she needed the water to finish the last 1.5 miles. Leaving him the water would be suicide. [/quote]
We don’t know if they had bottled water in addition to the camelback style bladder set up the dad had. I think if we knew what food and other supplies they had with them, it would help to figure out how long they intended to be out. It also seems like the sherrif’s reported speculation that they may have tried to do the 8 mile loop may not be confirmed. If they just planned to go down part of Savage-Lundy to look for mines and then turned back, they don’t seem nearly so reckless, though I don’t think the dog or baby should have been out in that kind of heat on any length hike. I’m also curious about the extent to which the recent CA forest fires may have degraded the air quality and contributed to their struggles. [/quote]

How long would the hike have been had they not done the whole loop, but explored a bit and turned back? Either way it seems like it would have taken hours, longer than people should be out with a hairy dog and a young baby in the heat. [/quote]
