mountain, Rysy, in the Tatra mountains, possibly taken there to die, and
discovered on Friday. By chance a group of climbers found him, and
using ropes and chains successfully brought the frightened dog down from
the craggy and icy mountain peak in an operation that took 10 hours.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — The brown-eyed dog was abandoned on Poland’s
highest mountain, possibly taken there to die. Instead he found new
friends and a new life.
Using ropes and chains, a group of climbers found him and carried the frightened 10-kilogram (22-pound) animal down from the craggy, icy mountain peak.
Anna Plaszczyk, an animal rights activist, said she believes the black-and-tan mongrel could not have made it up the 2,500-meter (8,200-foot) high Rysy mountain by himself and was taken there to die.
She says “it was a death sentence.” She is urging any witnesses to come forward and wants prosecutors to file charges of possible animal cruelty.
Dariusz Slaby, one of the climbers, said the rescue Friday in Poland’s Tatra mountains took about 10 hours.
