A Nepalese mutt managed to climb to 23,000ft while scaling the Himalayas after following an expedition team and making friends with them along the way.
Don Wargowsky, who lives in Seattle, was leading a group from the Kathmandu-based Summit Climb when they spotted Mera, who is believed to be a Tibetan mastiff and Himalayan sheepdog cross.
The group had stumbled upon the 45-pound pooch on their way back down from Mera Peak, some 17,500ft up, and she instantly became best friends with Mr Wargowsky.
She accompanied him for the next three weeks of his month-long trip, and even reached the summit of Baruntse with him on November 9, 2018.
It is believed to be the first time a dog has reached a Nepalese peak in history, reports Outside magazine.

The brave pooch, which they named Mera after the peak where they found her, followed Mr Wargowsky and his team for three weeks

Billi Bierling from the Himalayan database told Outside: 'I am not aware of a dog actually summiting an expedition peak in Nepal.
'I just hope that she won’t get into trouble for having climbed Baruntse without a permit.'
Ms Bierling added that Mera may have reached the highest-recorded elevation ever by a dog.
The legendary feat didn't go unnoticed by the Sherpas on the trip who unusually embraced the stray dog, believing her to be good luck.

The sweet stray dog loved cuddling up with Mr Wargowsky throughout the trip, and slept next to him the whole time
Mr Wargowsky said: 'They’d never seen anything like this happen. They said she was a special dog, that she brought luck to the expedition. Some even thought she was blessed.'
At one point, she even spent two-days outside in the freezing landscape on her own.
It is not known if Mera had been to the peak before, but she navigated the landscape with ease, impressing everyone.
After tackling the 23,389ft peak, Mera successfully made it back down with the other climbers, only wobbling at one point when she struggled with a short vertical headwall.
Now the brave dog has been adopted by the expedition's base-camp manager Kaji Sherpa, who renamed her Baru after the Baruntse peak, and spends her days relaxing instead of climbing mountains even humans struggle with.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
