Murphys, CA…In another very happy ending to a local lost dog story. The NCPS’s Sandy Rainey passed this along to us. “The Pine Tree News: FYI……………Yesterday, one of our employees, Steven Popish found the two dogs on the Tuolumne side of the river just south of McKays dam. We contacted the owners, who picked up the dogs yesterday. Note: They were very cold and very hungry. Good ending to the story.”
