It was after our first major snowfall of the year, late on a Friday night - a call came in. "A dog may be chained in an abandoned house." The temperature outside? 9°F. On our way we went. The snow helped us track pawprints around abandoned buildings until we found him, a male dog dragging a chain leash (which is why the caller thought he might be chained up). With him was a female companion with a vaginal prolapse, requiring immediate medical attention. Donna couldn't feel her fingers after just a few moments, and our friend Officer Ottengheime met her on site. They were able to secure both dogs in under 10 minutes and get them in the warm Jeep. They were both pink from being cold for so long! We don't know how long they were out there, fending for themselves. They snored with their eyes open as we gently pet them and told them they were safe now. We named them Fannar and Eira, Welsh for "Snow" and "Snowdrift."
