Animal lovers are often willing to do anything to save an injured animal, and two men in Taiwan are no exception—they hiked for six hours just to save a dog.

In late March, Seán McCormack received a photo on Facebook, sent by a woman of a 1-year-old dog curling up outside a guesthouse in Taroko National Park in Taiwan. The woman told McCormack, an independent dog rescuer in Taiwan, that the dog lost his front right paw in a trap, and his front left paw was injured.
