'I can't leave him': Sask. tow truck driver rescues moose trapped in ice

Gottinger, who owns Rebel Towing, said he was on his way to do a couple of tow jobs around 5 p.m. CST.

His plans quickly changed.

my kind of human being.
About two decades ago some friends and I rescued a dog in the reservoir we walk and used to run around. Came down from the hills with some heavy rain. Still don’t know how he made it. He was about a year old with a few scratches. I kept him for about two weeks and gave him to a friend who was looking for a dog. He was by no means a house dog😀
