On May 25, 2014, Larae Beck’s two dogs went out for a walk around the Beck’s large property in Farmington, Utah, but only one of the dogs returned home. Libby, a Labrador, was trapped on a ledge inside a river with white water rafting conditions. She was scared and cold, but thanks to a kindhearted family that heard her cries, the canine was saved and pulled from the fast flowing river.
Ike disappeared from his home on Sunday night, but it wasn't until early Monday morning that a neighbor discovered the dog on the edge of a cliff, contacted its owner, and helped rescue the pet.
“There's not much that you won't do for your kids and that's how I feel (about the dogs),” Sappington said. “They saved me, now I'm going to do everything in my power to save them.”
