What a fine looking animal... poor darling! How her heart must have hurt when she began to fear her buddy had left her, never to return. Missy should never have been taken up a mountain in the first place, and then, to be left exposed and vulnerable to the elements. I would NEVER place my dog in such jeopardy, and then to give her up for dead!
The story says Mr. and Mrs. Washburn, along with other members of Missy’s rescue team, would love to adopt her. If they do, little Missy will be the proud and devoted member of a huge family willing to risk their lives for one another. What a happy ending that would be!
As for Orotini, or whatever his name is, it doesn’t matter, because in my book, his name is MUDD.
I take comfort in knowing that with the attention the pet received it
will go to a good home. And someone will have a loyal pet.
