Massive mastiff rescued after getting exhausted on a mountain hike

“We passed him on the way down and it’s all my kids could talk about,” Melanie Peterson wrote on Facebook. “We were so happy and relieved to pass you all heading up for the rescue. What awesome people you are!”

The dog owner’s sister, Amy Sandoval, said on Facebook that they had been out for a family hike, took a wrong turn on the descent, and “ended up on a very tricky slope.”

“It was so hard getting everyone back up the trail. Poor dog just couldn’t take any more after that,” she said. “Thanks to all the nice hikers who offered us more water, as we used the remainder of ours to keep Floyd hydrated.”

People had a lot of empathy for Floyd, who did his very best, and were extremely grateful for the volunteers putting so much time and care into saving the “gentle giant.”
