A woman suffered significant thermal burns from her shoulders to her feet while trying to save her dog who jumped into a hot spring at Yellowstone National Park, officials said Tuesday.
The 20-year-old woman from Washington state was visiting the park in Wyoming Monday when she and her father exited their vehicle to look around, according to a news release from the park.

The woman followed the dog into the hot spring to save it and her father pulled her out.
She was taken to the Burn Center at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center after she received some initial treatment from park rangers and local fire officials.
