Lisa and Calvin raise and show horses on their beautiful piece of farmland in Ohio. Their land is also home to a menagerie of dogs, cats, birds and other animals — including Biyou, Lisa's part wolf-dog.
Cass was Lisa's favorite mare, and Biyou would follow Lisa around the property ever since Cass was a foal. Despite the fact she had gone blind over the years, Cass always loved to roam the pasture. On a cold day in January of 2001, Lisa's life was forever changed.
A back operation left Lisa confined to her house on doctor's orders. With her husband at work and the weather plummeting to freezing temperatures, Lisa realized Cass was nowhere to be found. As it turned out, the old horse had escaped from her pasture and became disoriented, walking farther and farther from home. She eventually found herself at the bottom of a ravine and couldn't cross the frozen lake.
Though her back was in pain from the surgery, Lisa went to look for her beloved horse. When she finally found her, Lisa fell through the ice, using Cass' harness to hold on for dear life. With every second that ticked by, Lisa became colder and more exhausted; time was running out.
Half a mile away, Biyou the dog sensed something was wrong — and that's where the story takes a stunning turn. Watch the video below to find out what happened next.
