A stray dog joined a mountaineering expedition and followed the participants to the top of a 23,389ft Himalayan peak.
The dog, named Mera, became the first dog to reach the summit of Baruntse in Nepal’s Himalayas, located just south of Mount Everest.

Other than a brief human-aided zip line down a short section of fixed line, Mera made the ascent completely unsupported.
“I am not aware of a dog actually summiting an expedition peak in Nepal,” said Billi Bierling of the Himalayan Database. “I just hope that she won’t get into trouble for having climbed Baruntse without a permit.”

Mera is believed to be a cross between a Tibetan mastiff and a Himalayan sheepdog.
And she possesses an extraordinary level of confidence.

Mera took a special liking to climber Don Wargowsky of Seattle.
