We had the privilege of climbing with Horton in February 2009. Great dog. Strong.

A Couple more Horton Pictures
1-18-09 Always happy for a snack!
The last time we saw Horton. 12-26-10
He was sniffing around the parking area, paying extra attention to yellow spots in the snow.

RIP Horton. Might be a good time to pick up a puppie in the hope it might be a reincarnation of Horton.
Our Husky/Chocolate Lab mix met Horton when we were on Quandary a few years ago.

Condolences to the family and friends of Horton. He sounded like an amazing dog that I had hoped to meet someday.

Re: Horton the Quandary Dog Dies After a Full Climbing Life
I met Horton a few times while up on Quandary, first time I met him was in the Christo following down a few skiers. He was a great dog and will be missed on that mountain.
