Kelsey Schumacher was leading a group of would-be rescuers in a rural Iowa field earlier this month and it wasn't going well. They'd been there for hours, her feet were quite muddy, and they'd yet to corral the blind, injured dog they were after.
The young black dog was afraid and biting when people got too close to him, so Schumacher began to consider a long-range form of rescue. They were near a highway and needed to wrap their mission up quickly for the dog's safety, she says.
That's how a 15-year-old cowboy on the back of an ATV ended up lassoing the dog—allowing fellow rescuers to place him in a cage and finally get him the medical help he needed. Weeks later, the much-cleaner pup is adjusting well to his foster home. He is now named Will, after the rodeo teen who roped him in.
