PINKHAM NOTCH — Usually, it’s St. Bernards rescuing people from the mountains, but Tuesday, it was a 150-pound St. Bernard named Jack who needed to be rescued. And what a rescue it was.

Eight people spent nine hours on the Boott Spur Trail on Mount Washington helping the wounded dog and its owner from Pennsylvania down the trail in hot, humid conditions, helping the injured dog and one of its owners down the mountain. The dog had hurt his paws, especially the hind ones, hiking the mountain, rescuers said.
