A dog died during a hike on a popular Salt Lake County trail earlier this week, according to Salt Lake County Sheriff's Search and Rescue officials.
The agency responded to a report of a dehydrated hiker and dog on the Grandeur Peak Trail in Millcreek Canyon shortly after 2 p.m. Tuesday.
The hiker reported that the dog, a lab, was able to walk a little way down from the summit, but they stopped to look for shade after the dog was unable to continue. The dog died at some point afterward and the hiker continued down to the trailhead to report the incident, officials wrote in a report of the incident.
"The hiker had no water at this time and it's unknown how much, if any, water was taken on the hike," the agency wrote. After some initial struggles, a search and rescue team member was able to pull GPS coordinates from a photo the hiker took before heading down the trail. They were eventually able to locate the dog's carcass and bring it off the mountain with a litter wheel system.The Red Cross of Utah advised pet owners to track warning signs of heat-related illnesses in pets in early July, as hot summer temperatures returned throughout the state.
