It can get pretty quiet up in the mountains, as there aren’t many creatures who are willing to make the trek through all the ice and snow — which is why the entire team was shocked when they met a stray dog along the way.
On the 10th day of their 34-day expedition, at around 18,000 feet on a glacier with tons of crevices and obstacles, a sweet street dog, later named Baru, appeared out of nowhere. Wargowsky instantly recognized her from one of the villages they’d passed through, and realized she must have decided to follow the group on their journey.
