Abby the poodle-hound mix normally weighs about 50 pounds but her owner guessed she lost half her body weight in the cave.
“They never separate,” he said. “I figured something bad had happened. I mean, she's old. She could just get overcome by the heat.”
On Aug. 6, Gerry Keene and five other adults, along with five children, had just entered the Berome Moore Cave, planning a day of exploring. One of the kids ran ahead of the group and yelled back to his dad, “There's a dog in here.”“She was just lying there curled up in a ball,” Keene recalled."She lifted her head and looked at us but she didn’t respond to verbal commands. She looked like she was pretty close to being done.
Haley was trained in cave rescues, and he retrieved a duffel bag and a blanket from his truck. They put the blanket inside the bag, then the dog, who immediately took to the warm blanket after weeks laying in the cold mud.“It was critical that we not give her any rough handling,” Haley said. In the rocky areas through small passageways, “We would carry her short distance, set her down, then kind of move in front of her, reach back, pick her up, and put her in front of us.
He went there assuming it couldn't be Abby — how could a 13-year-old dog have survived such an ordeal?
