SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A dog is away from its owner this morning after a hiker found the animal by itself and alone in Big Cottonwood Canyon.
Officials say the hiker found the Springer spaniel on Wednesday wrapped up in a blanket under a log on the Butler Fork Trail. He then took the ten-year-old dog to a veterinarian.
Animal services officials say the dog's temperatures was low and he was very hungry.
If anyone has any information about the dog's owner's whereabouts, they're asked to call the Salt Lake County Animal Services.
If the dog's owner is NOT found, a rescue group will adopt the pet.
