Sierra Madre, California – The search for a hiker’s missing dog has ended on a sad note. The Sierra Madre Search and Rescue Team was trying to find a 15-year-old black miniature Doberman Pinscher named Mitzi after her owner fell on a hike last weekend.
According to the search and rescue team, Mitzi’s 67-year-old owner fell while trying to retrieve her after she left the Mount Wilson Trail. The man, whose ankle was broken, was found 50 feet up a drainage off the trail and teams were able to extract him, but his dog was nowhere to be found.
The rescue team updated Facebook followers with news of Mitzi’s demise this week, writing:
UPDATE: We’re saddened to report that Mitzi has been found deceased. While we were hoping for a more positive outcome, we are grateful for the public’s interest and help in finding her.
Rest in peace Mitzy.
