Blind man and dog rescued after days stuck on trail

A 55-year-old blind man and his dog have been rescued from the Rogue River trail in South-Western Oregon.

They began hiking on the trail on July 3 or 4 with a friend. During the hike, the man began to experience heat exhaustion, so the friend left to try to call emergency services.

A US Coast Guard helicopter crew airlifted them to safety and the man and his dog were taken to emergency medical services.
