Max, my Husky/Cocker Spaniel Mix ran out the front door when I mistakenly didn’t shut it all the way. His brother had gone out also but didn’t get any further than the front yard because he has a broken leg. Max was no where to be found and I looked allover the neighborhood for him. Exhausted I came back home and started to surf the net and call all the local shelters…and no Max. I found Dogs Finding Dogs and gave them a call. Anne brought out Heidi right away. We started from the front yard and tracked thru the neighborhood to a steep creek bed that had a vertical drop of about 30 feet. Straight down and with boulders poking out all along the way. My heart DROPPED! I couldn’t look and my eyes were filling up. Anne told me to hold Heidi’s leash and she looked. Thank God no Max, but he had been there. His tracks were at the bottom of the frozen creek on the ice where he had apparently fallen into. His tracks led down the creek where we could get back to the ice. It was Max’s footprints and human footprints. Someone had gone and rescued him and carried him off! Heidi was still able to track thru the neighborhood following Max’s and the man’s scent. A kind neighbor had Max and when he found him he was frozen like a Popsicle. All of Max’s hair was frozen solid and he had to be warmed up with hot towels. Max is now back home having survived a steep fall and crash thru the ice on a terribly cold winter day with no injuries! I thank Dogs Finding Dogs for everything they did! I was truly amazed at seeing the working relationship with Anne and Heidi. I would strongly recommend them to anyone! And for Max, his new nick name is Tigger! He bounces with the best of them!
