REDMOND, Ore. (AP) — It’s a heartwarming and a tailwagging story.

The Bulletin reports a pit bull mix at the Humane Society of Redmond rescued a blind cocker spaniel that had wandered off from its new owner and collapsed in a snowy ditch near the animal shelter in central Oregon.

The pit bull mix, named Nala, kept tugging on her leash during a walk Monday, and shelter volunteer Alan Borland gave her some lead.

They found the 10-year-old spaniel, named Chadwick, curled up in the ditch, filthy and clinging to life with ice balls on his feet.

Chadwick had been adopted by a Redmond woman who has given a home to other disabled animals, and was glad to have him back.

Meanwhile, the shelter hopes somebody wants to give Nala a good home, too.
