This....
She was such a little trooper……
My heart dog Keb and I were deployed twelve days over the course of a month at the OSO landslide in 2014. She was one of the first dogs and the very last dog deployed on this mission which was life changing for so many of us. I believe Keb who just passed a few months ago at the age of 14 1/2 was one the last surviving dogs that worked the slide. Following this tragedy our journey has remained dedicated to bringing answers to families left behind. I am grateful to wake up every morning with a purpose. This very small commemoration today was such a gift. If you have not seen the memorial, GO if you can. It is beautiful and very moving.
