A miraculous recovery<\/strong> of my two 14 week old pups on Thanksgiving Day is something to be truly be thankful for<\/strong><\/em>. The pups disappeared into a deep forest 4 days ago during a hike and had to endure unforgiving cold and snow. Puppies Sean <\/strong>and Cait<\/strong> were discovered by a group of amazing biology Ph.D. students at Dartmouth College out on a Thanksgiving Day walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Sunday around 1:30 p.m. Sean and Cait bolted from our group of dogs and puppies at a junction, heading down a trail we were not taking. They moved with such speed I couldn’t see where they were going. They were not coming when called. They just kept going to wherever they were going. It was all over in seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conservation area is 1000 acres of rough, forested terrain. And the temperatures, already at freezing during the day were dropping. The situation had danger written all over it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My pack of dogs and I (including the pups’ mother) searched until after dark, calling and calling, alerting everyone we saw to two lost pups. After a long 25\u00b0f night, we resumed the search, covering every trail within a 2 mile radius of the point we lost them multiple times, calling, calling, calling for the entire day. Nothing. The temps dropped to 15\u00b0f on the next long New England night. I gave up hope, assuming two pups out in the elements could not make it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following night it snowed. More cold. No calls from the police or humane society. I knew the pups were dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then… at around noon on Thanksgiving day, the phone range and a beautiful, kind, reassuring voice on the other end of the line said, “I think we have found your puppies.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pups had traveled to the other side of conservation area. They were found by four Dartmouth Ph.D. students sitting on a hillside up from the trail trying to catch some sunshine for warmth, the female, Cait, shivering. An hour later the pups were at the trailhead. A half hour later, we were reunited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happened this Thanksgiving with my pups is a true miracle<\/em><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two presumed-dead pups have a new chance at life. Thanksgiving doesn’t get any better than having two sweet puppies rescued from death. The sharp-eyed Dartmouth biologists found two needles in the Landmark Forest haystack. These pups now have their second chance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am thankful for all who worked to get the word out and give those pups their second chance. A post on the Upper Valley Lost Pets Facebook page gave the Dartmouth biologists the connection back to me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My profound gratitude to the good and compassionate young Dartmouth biologists who delivered my lost pups back to me on Thanksgiving Day. Thank you… <\/p>\n\n\n\n
