Celebrate the Achievements of These Eight Canine Pioneers

Meet the dogs that claimed their place in the history books for being the world’s first when it comes to acts of pure courage and adventure

Dogs have long been considered man’s best friend. But when it comes to proving their commitment, some of them go just a bit further than the rest. Here are a few examples of dogs that were so much more than just loyal friends; they claimed their place in the history books for being the world’s first when it comes to acts of pure courage and adventure.

1. RUPEE

Rupee is the first canine on record to travel for 10 days to Everest base camp with his owner, Joanne Lefson, taking him to the lofty altitude of 17,000 feet. Joanne found Rupee when he was a starving puppy on the streets of Ladakh, India and took him home to South Africa. They returned to India just months later for their challenge - a mountain trek up Everest.
