Top Dog
A stray dog
which had been tracking some mountain climbers in Nepal, and had refused
to be shooed away by the Sherpas, ended up making it to the top of the
23,000ft mountain the Baruntse. The Sherpas thought that this was so
auspicious that one adopted the cross breed (sheep dog and mastiff), and
named her 'Baru'.

To be fair Baru had to be helped for some parts of the climb, and was strapped to climbers for those parts of the climb. She had originally latched on to climb team leader Don Wargowsky from Seattle USA. Its believed to be a record climb for a dog.
