Why it worked

HE FOUND HIM LOST, BUT HE DIDN'T LEAVE HIM ALONE UPSOMEDIA Where's your family, bud? I can take you back if you let me. HE LOOKED SAD, EXHAUSTED, AND HOPELESS Are you okay? Hi. MOM 🥺... I tried to pick him up. But he did not like that very much. He tried to bite me, so... We're in the middle of nowhere. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO HERE. Let's get back to the trail, little buddy. COME ON. HE WAS FAR TOO DEPRESSED Let's go back Your parents are this way, come on! COME ON! BUT THIS GUY HAD THE PATIENCE OF A HERO ❤️ I tried to wrap him up in a towel, still didn't work Luckily he likes the towel. This was supposed to be a short hike, so I have absolutely no tools The closest thing that I can come up with is using my tripod. Which has this little clip here YES! Good job, buddy! It's working, guys! Hopefully we'll be able to find his parents. Good BOY! I'M SO GLAD! THE ROAD WAS LONG, SO THEY TOOK A BREAK He's relaxed. I tried to give him some water but he wouldn't drink it And I was able to get the phone number from his tag. But my wifi calling isn't working Alright, guys, his owners just came and picked him up Thank God. I could not get calls to go through but I did get a text to send Apparently he jumped out of their car, like hours ago, and he'd just been wandering around. No one likes when people cry but but she was just so happy to see him again.
