The Daily Mail: Climbers stunned after spotting a stray dog at the freezing peak of Mount Kilimanjaro

A stray dog has been spotted scampering around at the peak of Africa’s highest mountain.

How the mongrel managed to scale 19,000ft-high Kilimanjaro has mystified vets.

Experts were last night trying to establish how the dog, which was noticed by a group of climbers, had managed to survive the notoriously tough conditions on the mountain in Tanzania.

The part of the mountain where the dog was found is so high that the temperatures usually remain below and freezing and climbers are warned about the severe effects of altitude sickness.

Local officials said it was possible the stray animal was the same dog which had been spotted a decade ago close to a camp lower down the mountain.
