I have to say, about half of these horror stories would fall into my entertainment category. Would be fun stories to share back at work on Monday. Nobody died right?
My only bad experiences have been weather related. Like the horrible lightning storm that had our Golden Retriever and Labrador scared to the point that I feared for their health. I guess some country dogs may get used to that, but they had never experienced it.
A father/son (about 12yo) fishing trip, with tent accommodation and only campfire meal preps, and a wind that destroyed the tent beyond use. Was a cold and hungry night in the truck cab.
Probably the worst was not in camp, but on our way home. Tent camping again, pulling a utility trailer, single cab truck, and the same 2 big dogs. Mojave desert, labor day Monday. About 105 degrees. Nowhere to get the dogs out of the sun. Smog pump pulley is plastic, and lets go. AAA says they can't find a tow truck with a driver who has hours available. Finally a shop owner in Boron came out with his own company tow truck and pulled us to his shop. Let us sit with the dogs in his very small lobby, which was far from cool, but at least out of the sun. Closest parts were in Barstow, which is pretty far away, but he got it for us. That guy was a saint in our opinion. Didn't charge us nearly enough, even with the extra I insisted he accept. Came really close to just renting a car, for safety sake for the dogs, but couldn't even find a car available on that weekend.
