There were actually two dogs: one they found right away and the other several days later.
There are some pictures of the Wrangler where it finally landed on the San Miguel Sheriff facebook page. It looks like it has already been crushed!
I never tried to go over Black Bear. I did drive up that way one evening after work after having had supper in town. I don't think it was one-way back then but I didn't want to get up too far where I couldn't turn around with my K/20 pickup. It was getting dark and my understanding back in those days was that even a jeep had to back up every other switchback. I guess I got enough "four-wheeling" just getting to work every day as a logger. There is or was a shortcut from the ski area down to the highway just west of town that was not rough but was pretty narrow and precipitous.
Now of course it is extremely popular. From the recent videos that I've seen I wouldn't be afraid to take my old K/20 down the switchbacks if I still had it. But the K2500 visibility is just so poor that I would hesitate even though it's really no bigger.
