Dog tragedy at the imperial promotion: mountain rescue saves four -legged friends

In the Tyrolean mountains, even a harmless hiking trip can quickly become an animal emergency. On November 23, 2024, around 9:40 a.m., such an incident occurred on the imperial promotion in Kufstein. A dog, accompanied by his 34-year-old owner, had difficulties while hiking on a snow-covered path and slipped over a rock wall. This unfortunate fall led to the four -legged friend stuck in the rock wall about ten meters.

The alarmed hiker did not hesitate long and immediately contacted the emergency call. The Kufstein mountain rescue was then activated, which promptly hurried to the scene of the accident. In addition, the Kufstein police were called to support, which could use a drone flight to localize the dog. Finally, the four -legged friend was saved by the mountain rescue from a considerable amount of about 60 meters and handed over to its relieved owner at around 11:30 a.m.

important information for hiking in winter

hikes in the winter landscape can be a challenge for dogs. It is important to assess the animal's physical abilities, since not every dog ​​breed or all age is suitable for smooth and snow -covered paths. For this reason, fewer fit dogs as well as puppies or older animals should remain in safe home if possible. In addition, dog owners must take responsibility for the safety of their four -legged friends and be well prepared.

• In addition to a leash, good equipment, such as a bite basket, a strap or a hundred backpack, should not be missing. Don't forget to pack enough water and snacks with a bowl.
• Special care is also required when choosing the hiking route. Hard and slippery passages can quickly become a trap for dogs, which is why the route selection should be carefully considered.
• If your dog shows signs of discomfort, such as tremors or a cramped attitude, it is advisable to stop the hike immediately and find a place to warm up.

These tips can help to make hiking for dogs safer and more pleasant. For more information about this incident and other similar events in the region, a look at www.meinbezirk.at .
