During our hike at the Gorge, we heard from a few hikers that two dogs were loose with no owner further down the trail. We thanked them for the information and kept on hiking. A few minutes later Cheddar found a scared and incredibly skinny hound dog. Lucky for him we had dog food with us and he got a bite to eat. He sucked down the food like a vacuum! Well, our four then became five as Hound, as we dubbed him, joined our group. We were constantly on the lookout for another dog, but Hound was all we found.

It became clear to Peter and I that our conscience would not let us leave him at the Gorge to starve. Back up the trail toward the car with Hound in toe. It took some encouragement and food to get him in the car, but he quickly fell fast asleep. A stop at Miguel’s for pizza and to inquire about animal shelters, the closest being Clark County, and then on the road toward Lexington with all dogs accounted for.
