But then, energized by adrenaline and her love for animals, she hoisted the poor dog on her shoulders. She was mentally ready for what was going to be an extremely difficult hike back to find help for the dog.

Luckily, Tia does have a bit of a sports background and was well-suited for the job. She used to be a gymnast, which means she had her fair share of intensive exercise in her life. But nothing could’ve prepared her for the 6-hour hike with a 55-pound dog on her shoulders.
