The three climbers and Velvet toppled off a ledge while descending from a climb of Mount Hood. Due to low visibility, they stepped off a ledge at about {{convert|8300|ft|m}} elevation during a storm, separating them from five other members of the party. The five reported the accident and were themselves soon rescued. The three fallen climbers activated Mountain Locator Units to let searchers find their position which was at about {{convert|7400|ft|m}} elevation in White River Canyon.[2] Due to worsening conditions, they were forced to spend the night on the mountain while {{convert|70|mph|km/h}} winds blew with temperatures in the 20s (-1 to -7 C).[1] Velvet spent the night going from person to person to ensure they kept warm as they huddled under two sleeping bags and a tarp. The climbers were rescued the next morning.[3] Velvet was treated at a non-profit Portland veterinary clinic for broken toenails and a cut on one paw.[1] A fund now exists at DoveLewis Emergency Animal Hospital in Velvet's name to assist low income families with emergency veterinary care.[4] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web | url = http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/02/20/national/main2493118.shtml | title = Dog Helped Saved Mount Hood Climbers—Rescued Man And Two Women Taken To Hospital, Expected To Be Fine | work = CBS News | author = Alfonso Serrano | date = February 20, 2007 | accessdate = 2009-12-16}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Velvet (Dog)}}2. ^ {{cite web |url = http://www.wsvn.com/news/articles/national/MI40037/ |title = Climbers leave Mount Hood; rescuer credits black Lab with saving their lives |work = WSVN-TV |location = Fort Lauderdale, Florida |date = February 19, 2007 |accessdate = 2009-12-16 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110728155251/http://www.wsvn.com/news/articles/national/MI40037/ |archive-date = July 28, 2011 |dead-url = yes |df = mdy-all}} 3. ^ {{cite web | url = http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17219953/ | title = Mount Hood climbers reach safety | work = MSNBC/AP | date = February 20, 2007 | accessdate = 2009-12-16}} 4. ^ {{cite web | url = http://dovelewis.org/PDF/Velvet_Fund_Named.pdf | title = Donor, Inspired by Mt.
