This was a 3-day hike on trails in the High Peaks Wilderness in Adirondack Park. Fawn led the expedition by taking her humans all the way to the top of Mount Marcy, the high point of New York state.
She clambered over boulders, tentatively walked over wooden bridges, and hopped from rock to rock crossing running streams.
Whenever she could, she stopped to take a quick nap, because she had never done so much hiking in her life!
She guarded her humans by letting out low growls and loud barks at night when she sensed danger, because the Adirondacks are full of bears! Fawn also experienced sleeping in a tent at night and wearing a special jacket to keep her cool and protected during the day.
While her humans carried her food and water, along with all the camping gear, Fawn scampered up and down the mountain trails like she’d been doing it all her life. She did her job well on this trip and brought her humans home safe and sound. And after she ran into the house, kissed her Momma and Daddy, drank a full bowl full of water, and sniffed out and marked the entire back yard, she collapsed into a deep sleep—just content to be back at home.
