    *UPDATE ON THE DOGS* The bigger black and white dog was adopted within the first week in the shelter🙌 Unfortunately, the smaller dog has not been adopted yet and is currently being fostered so he can go up north to a rescue group. If you are interested in adopting him you can reach out to the shelter in Summerville, GA. Their phone number is 706-857-0679 and their Facebook page is listed under “Animal Advocates of Chattooga County”

    I am so glad you stayed to help those dogs and didn't try to cross the road. I once saw a dog get hit by a car. The driver had plenty of time to stop or avoid a collision but didn't, and he/she didn't stop to render aid either. It happened over 10 years ago, and the images still haunt me.

    The dogs are related First off i thought the were litter mates. Then close up one was bigger. Maybe a mom and a grown up almost pup. They're so sweet and a little smart to follow kind voices. Hooray for Tripod finding food in the middle of sorta nowhere. Very kind and noble. I hope someone can take them. Strays become the most loyal appreciative pets. Heart is breaking. Best of luck to all four hikers.
