[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Incredibly sad. And while I certainly understand questioning their judgement I will say that this sort of thing can really creep up on you.

We went out to Big Bend a year ago and both my daughter and I ended up with heat exhaustion. We had enough water - had water left, but the lack of shade and an unexpectedly hot day really took it out of us. We were .6 miles from the trailhead when we were able to drag ourselves to a picnic area with shade. It's hard to describe the feeling of simply struggling to put one foot in front of the other and the sun just beating down. And there's a point when water is only part of the equation.[/quote]

[b]It was completely avoidable [/b]- they started the trail at 7:44AM. Looks like they realized they were in trouble and overheating around 10:29AM. Their last communication was 12:30PM. [/quote]

This is tragic, but at the very least they should have expected this to kill the dog. [/quote]

The dog would have survived on its own by making its way to the nearby river if they had unhooked the lead line.
