Blind Labrador Lost For A Week In The Mountains Waits For One Last Sign Of Hope

[Omaha Steve]

BY MATTHEW RUSSELL

There is little hope for a blind dog lost in the Santa Cruz mountains, even less for one missing for a week.

For a Boulder Creek Labrador named Sage, however, eight days proved to be enough time to spend away from home in the vast California wilderness.

“It was horrible,” Sage’s owner Beth Cole told ABC7 News. “We were so heartbroken and just feeling so bad that she was out there.”

After losing track of Sage on Feb. 24, Cole spent the following few days searching the woods adjacent her neighborhood, despite reports of mountain lions in the area. Cole, along with friends and neighbors, eventually began to lose hope.

6. So glad people cared enough to find helpless Sage. She's safe at home, once more.

Hope her people will guard their precious friend even more, every day of the rest of Sage's life.

7. I live in Ben Lomond

3 miles down the road. We are really proud of our tight knit community for the effort that went into this. Especially with so much infrastructure damage.

I was really scared to open this thread because I can't handle seeing animals hurt. So glad everything turned out well.
