In the morning, the dog in question accompanied its owner on a ski trip to Formiguères. The animal then got ahead of its master to the point that the latter could no longer see it. The man eventually lost track of his four-legged friend.

He was too tired to come back to his master

It was not until around 4:30 p.m. that he managed to find him . The Saint-Bernard was far ahead, at the top of the chairlift. He was slumped on the ground, because he had lost all his energy during his mad advance. He no longer had the strength to turn back to join his master.

The skier needed help to bring him back to the Formiguères resort. He couldn’t do it alone, especially because of the dog’s weight. He then called for help and, shortly after, a first CRS team from Bolquère arrived in a tracked quad.
