Mountain Dog

As incredible as it may seem, this pup, Rupee became the first to climb Mt. Everest with his owner, Joanne Lefson, in tow. Sometimes, literally. The story is even more remarkable since Rupee was rescued from a heap of abandoned pups in India and nursed back to health. A great tale, inspired by Lefson's previous dog, Oscar who traveled around the world with her and sadly passed away before the Everest adventure.

But like I always say, there are no coincidences.
