A remarkable story emerged from Wyoming’s Wind River Mountains where a horse named Mouse was found alive after being lost for seven months. Mouse had escaped into the remote mountains last July and evaded all search efforts, especially as winter weather made further attempts impossible. On January 18, a snowmobiler spotted Mouse in poor condition but stranded behind massive snow drifts. Thanks to a creative rescue effort involving multiple helpers, Mouse was safely transported back home, providing a heartwarming and uplifting moment amid challenging times.
