Safe trails
There are
two words every Boy Scout knows: Be Prepared. Twelve-year-old Scout
David King was the pure embodiment of that motto when he and his mom
Christine came across a couple in distress during a hike in Kailua, Hawaii.
The couple was lost, out of water, their 100-pound dog Smokey had cut
up his paws and was unable to walk, and darkness was fast approaching.
David and Christine shared their water and brainstormed a way to get
everyone out.
Like the model Boy Scout he is, David saved the day by
building a stretcher out of some large branches and t-shirts to carry
the dog, a skill he learned from his brother while getting his First Aid
merit badge. After a lot of coaxing, an understandably confused Smokey
settled into the stretcher, and the group was able to make it to
safety.
Don't you love a feel-good story?
Thanks for coming by today.
