“Where are my people? I’m so thirsty! Why did I run to a place with almost no shade? Can I follow you? Will you help me? I don’t know if I’m going to make it on my own.” These are just a few thoughts that may have run through Annie’s head when she got lost on the Whole Enchilada on a hot, late-summer day in Moab in 2016. After all, the desert can be a brutal and inhospitable place if you’re not prepared. Elevation, extreme heat and lack of water sources can take down even the most seasoned rider after they make a wrong turn. Now, imagine that same scenario, but for a dog.
