A Normal Ride Turns Heroic

Jarrett Little and his friends were out for what seemed like a regular mountain bike ride in a forested area in Columbus, Georgia. They decided to take a break when something surprising happened.

An Unexpected Visitor

As they rested, a five-month-old dog limped out from behind a tree. The poor pup had a broken leg and some road burns. It looked like he had been hit by a car but somehow made his way deep into the forest.

How to Save a Dog in the Forest

There was no way they could get a car into the forest to help the dog. Without other options, Jarrett decided to carry the pup. He wore the dog like a backpack and rode seven miles back into town.

A Chance Meeting

Once back in town, they stopped at a bike shop for food and water. Inside the shop, a woman named Andrea Shaw spotted the dog. The dog acted like he knew her, seeking comfort from her immediately.

A New Beginning

Andrea was only in town for a few days and didn't even live nearby, but she felt a strong connection with the dog. She decided to pay for all his medical bills and adopt him. She also organized his transport to her farm in Maine.

Columbo's New Home

Andrea named the dog Columbo after his hometown. After surgery, his injuries healed nicely. Now Columbo lives happily with plenty of animal friends and space to run on Andrea's farm.
