"I have to admit, it was a perfect dog for mountaineering," the filmer wrote online.
Sadly, after helping the group down the slope, the the dog became trapped down one of the crevasses.
"Unfortunately, when almost all of the crevasses were behind our back, the dog has suddenly disappeared," he said.
"And then, when jumping above one of the very deep crevasses, I have heard the poor dog's crying from the abyss below my feet. And there was nothing we could do to get him out of the deadly trouble. Poor frozen dog," he added.
