The Shortest Happy Dog Tale Ever

Here's to local tree climbers all over Vermont

On Wednesday, August 13, at 3:58 pm, there was a social media post:

@everyone NEK Lost Pets Recovery is seeking people to help. I have a brand new ATV and a hitch mounted winch with a hundred foot cable and the ACO for Wolcott and Elmore and I are willing to go but we do not have proper climbing gear to do it right. So if anyone knows someone who does we are happy to join in to help anyway we can and if not we may go anyway. Please message comment if you have gear and tag me in the comment. You can also try to message me but sometimes Facebook filters them out.

Less than an hour later, the president of Vermonters Against Animal Cruelty and Abandonment responded:

" The dogs on Mount Pisgah have been rescued. A couple of tree climbers were able to bring them to safety!"

One dog or two - happy endings seem to be rare these days.
