Hikers carry injured dog down from the top of a mountain, finding a stray kitten on the way, now they're both adopted and best backpacking buddies

When life hands you an injured doggo, get it a kitten friend, adopt them both, and then make lemonade.

Going on backpacking trips is something every young person should do in their life. It teaches you how to live with only the clothes on your back, to see the world and find peace in nature, and more than anything, to problem-solve and be resourceful. This is a skill we see a lot of the younger generation missing these days. They're so attached to their phones and constant communication that something like backpacking sounds so foreign to them. They don't know how to make decisions without Googling it and are too afraid of getting lost. It's a vicious cycle that feeds into itself and prevents them from learning these skills.

The hikers in the video today certainly had to make quick decisions without any technological help, and if they hadn't, they might be missing two fluffy family members from their lives. While hiking in Montenegro, they found an injured doggo at the top of a mountain. They went down to get the help from a professional guide, and carried the dog down on their backs. But, that's not the end of their story!

While waiting for the dog to heal, they also found a stray kitten outside of a grocery store. With two helpless animals and two big hearts, they decided to adopt them both.

Some people are just meant to care for others. And the universe knows which people they are, and will purposefully put people (or, in this case, animals) in their path that need their help. These two animals got lucky to meet their humans at the same time, and if we can get a cute dog and kitten like that, maybe we should go hiking in Montenegro as well!

You know you're serious when you're backpacking (meaning you only bring a certain amount of food in your pack) and you give all your food to a stray dog that needs your help. That's true heroism, if you ask us. A lot of people probably ignored him, but they didn't. They chose the hard path, and it paid off for all of them.

Can you imagine already spending hours carrying a dog down a mountain in a foreign country, and then find a kitten that needs your help too? At that point, you might as well take them both. They were clearly brought to them for a reason.
