Rescue crew saves Rottweiler and four puppies stranded in Park Fire
A heroic search-and-rescue team carried a stranded Rottweiler mother and her four puppies to safety via helicopter after their desperate owner was forced to abandon them whileThe owner of the resilient canines was evacuating the inferno on Wednesday when her truck became disabled, according to a post by the Butte County sheriff.
Unfortunately, the puppies’ father did not make it, likely dying of dehydration, Smith told Mercury News.The mom and her four puppies were rescued three days after being abandoned when their owner’s truck became disabled.“He was able to coax mom to take a drink out of his hand. Once she decided he was OK, all the puppies were like, ‘OK, we like you,'” she said, adding that his first dog was a Rottweiler.
“They got all excited and just ran right after him. They just followed him like the pied piper,” Christina Skaggs said. The mom quickly snuggled up on a seat while her puppies “were all over the place — they were all up in my seat and the co-pilot’s seat and under the seats in the back,” Smith said.It took about 10 minutes for the heroes to get the dogs to settle down, with one napping under the seats and another on the floor while the other two snuggled with Skaggs, while the mom put her head on the man who saved her.
