Unusual story: Man, dog hurt in fall

[erugs]

My mom and I were hiking Ted's Trail on North Pack Monadnock a few years back (okay, maybe more like ten years ago) and Taffy had to be on leash but Sunny was fine off leash. All was fine until we came to the waterfall and found the water running fast and the wooden footbridge was out. Sunny went bounding across and made it safely. We were unable to cross and I was afraid Sunny wouldn't be so sure-footed on the way back. I hiked upstream with him on the opposite side of the flow until I found a better crossing. He was so good to have stayed on the other side, even though he really wanted to be with us.

Reminds me of the "blond" joke: Two blonds were walking on opposite sides of the river. One called across to the other, "Hey - how do you get to the other side? The other responded, "You are on the other side."
