As for Tino, Fox 13 says he "located Puppy less than a mile from his home trapped in a dense, mud-filled gully. "
“He could not have gotten out of the mud,” James told the station. “We would not have seen him because he was far enough off the trail.”
She added, “And you know there’s miles and miles, acres and acres of wilderness out there to search. We just never would have found him.”
Puppy, per the station, spent more than 40 hours in mud and was hauled out via ropes before being reunited with his family.
