万花筒 2013-11-15&11-19 流浪狗获救 随新主人攀登珠穆朗玛峰

 The remarkable¹ story of Rupee, the dog who hit bottom and abandoned in a dump, only he was rescued and now he’s on top of the world. Take a look. 

 

It is the ultimate underdog tale, Rupee a once abandoned pup making canine² history, becoming the first dog on record to climb mount Everest, his owner Joanne Lefson by his side. 

 

He’s done amazingly well.

 

But Rupee wasn’t always on top of the world. Lefson said she found him in rough shape just a few months ago, abandoned in this dump.

 

I was in the Himalayan areas in northern India. This little pup came charging towards me. 

 

Starving, dehydrated and near death, Rupee fell in to Lefson’s lap, and Lefson fell in love. She nursed him back to health back at home in South Africa, and decided³ to bring Rupee along on her Mount Everest climb, as her own slum dog mountaineer.  

 

It was quite amazing to watch, you know, Rupee transforming into this amazing, you know, Mount Everest trekking⁴, you know, super, super dog. He took the lead on most days. We were kind of dragging up, you know, behind him.

 

It turns out Rupee was falling some pretty distinguished⁵ pup prints. You may remember Lefson on GMA last year, after her pup Oscar became the first dog ever to travel around the world. 

 

So he’s a little chit lack. We just arrived at Acupon, South Africa. 

 

Lefson had planned to do the Mount Everest climb with Oscar, but sadly he passed away. Just a few months later, she found Rupee.

 

It was just a wonderful, special, amazing experience and obviously, you know, in Oscar’s honor. 

 

A free forerun who has taken Joanne’s love for adventure to incredible new heights. 

 

And rupee continues the journey in honor of Oscar. 

 

Yeah, just another reason why to adopt. 

 

Yes, 

 

Really rescue, rescue those pups. 

 

Look at this far he came, it is amazing. 

 

I know it is beautiful to see.
