They were accompanied by their 100-pound pit bull named Smokey who had cut up his feet during the hike and was unable to continue anymore.

Fortunately, they crossed paths with David and his mom who were three miles away from completing a 15-mile merit badge hike.

A Lesson From His Brother

David was able to show the couple the way out and to help them with the Smokey situation, he recalled something his older brother, an Eagle Scout, once told him about.

David told KHON-TV, “So we built them a stretcher using a big tree branch that we broke in half and we used our shirts and like slid it on and used the armholes to fit the sticks through.”

They all made it safely to the trailhead, and Smokey immediately received medical attention and is now doing well.
