Here's an awesome story about a Springer Spaniel who was rescued from death on a Utah mountain hiking trail. He is currently in Denver at the Maxfund - a no kill shelter that specializes in abused, neglected animals.

PS: The springer has been named "Willy Butler" and has gained 20 lbs since being rescued!! Thanks to the Springer Rescue in the Rocky Mountain Region, he was transported from Utah to Denver.
