On 05/08/25 at or about 11:23 p.m. William Barlow called 911 to report that he and three other people were out on the Vulcan Lake trail. Barlow informed Central Dispatch that himself and Carl Carter Jr had responded to the area in the afternoon of 05/08/25, to help out some friends. Barlow stated that Laruen Watson was the owner of two great Pyrenees dogs. At this time both of the dogs (Moses and Fin) had torn off the pads of their feet, and were bleeding from their feet. Both dogs were also suffering from dehydration, pure exhaustion, and they could not walk on their own. Great Pyrenees dogs are an extremely large breed of dog, and both weighed well in excess of 100 pounds. Barlow stated that they had supplies and were going to spend the night near Vulcan Lake. Barlow believed that they were approximately 2.5 miles from the trailhead. The Vulcan Lake trailhead is located on the edge of the Kalmiopsis Wilderness area, and is an approximately an hour drive from Brookings. On 05/09/25 at or about 6:00 a.m. while out on another call, SAR Coordinator Sgt Jared Gray made contact with Barlow over the telephone. At this time Barlow reported that they were able to get the dogs to the top of the ridge the night before, but they were no longer on the trail. Barlow reported that the dogs were so weak that they could not walk. He stated that they bandaged both dogs feet attempting to get them to walk, but the dogs could not even stand on their own. At this time Barlow advised that they would continue to try and get the dogs back to the trailhead, after resting throughout the night. At or about 7:47 a.m. the decision to activate Search and Rescue was made. At or about 9:52 a.m. SAR volunteer and Cal-or paramedic Art Tarin was the first to arrive at Vulcan Lake area. At this time Tarin began to walk the trail in search of the subjects and the two dogs. At or about 10:55 a.m. Tarin was able to locate the subjects. At this time Tarin relayed that the subjects had traveled back down the trailhead, and were now just above Vulcan Lake. At or about 11:15 a.m. Sgt Gray and SAR volunteers, Craig Rasbury, and Tim Hawkins arrived at the trailhead. At this time another subject named Jake arrived at the trailhead. Jake advised that his wife knew the dog owner and he also responded to assist with the recovery of the two dogs. While Sgt Gray, Rasbury, Hawkins, and Jake hiked up the trail, Tarin and the other 4 subjects, were able to drag both Moses and Fin to the top of the ridge. Both dogs were placed into a flexible plastic sled called a SKED, and were then able to be dragged up the steep mountain. Once at the crest of the trail, one of the dogs was placed into a stokes basket, which was then placed onto a wheeled cart. Over the next several hours Moses and Fin were dragged in the SKED device, and the wheeled cart all the way to the trailhead. Both Moses and Fin then left with their owner to hopefully have a full recovery.Photos from Curry County Justice's post
