Nevis rescue for dog tired Maggie

A MOUNTAIN rescue team was called up Ben Nevis to help fetch a dog that refused to move.

Maggie, right, a 77lb Turkish akbash, had sore paws and would not budge when the walkers she was with began their trek back down the mountain. The three women attempted to carry Maggie but had to admit defeat. Lochaber Mountain Rescue got the pooch back in the early hours yesterday after deploying a stretcher party, complete with a casualty carer – and chicken treats.
