In a world that seemingly has gone mad, I've found a sweet innocent moment to share thanks to a Wyoming guy in his truck and a rescue dog who just wants to hold hands (or is that paws?).
It was the case of a dog being a dog and trying to chase geese. The result was an animal in distress in an ice-covered pond who fortunately was within reach for a hero Colorado firefighter.
If you've ever ventured into the Wyoming backcountry, you know that avalanches are a constant threat in the more mountainous areas. There's more than one person who has been caught up in a potentially tragic avalanche situation that will attest to the fact that avalanche dogs are the unsung rock stars of the region.
It's a strange relationship, but once you know the backstory, you'll understand. It's the tale of a Montana dog named Toby and a raccoon named nugget who are life-long friends.
