Beartooth Survival Story

by randosteve January 7th, 2012

I’m not much of a dog dude, but this sure is an amazing story about Ole, a little corgi’s will to live after an avalanche took his owner’s life (RIP David Gillard of Bozeman, MT) up in Cooke City, MT, on New Year’s Eve day. Pretty impressive little guy and thanks to BeartoothPowder.com for sharing the story! (See the comments section for a video by Doug Chabot, from the Gallatin NF Avalanche Center, investigating the avalanche incident.)

Thanks for posting Steve. David (victim) was one of my best buddy’s older brother. It has been a really tough week for their family but getting Ole back was a little bit of brightness in an otherwise dark period.

Sorry to hear that, Ted. My condolences go to the family.

Does this mean that Ole was still working his way out when you were there?
