It all began with a peaceful drive in the mountains in Colorado, USA. Tragedy struck and in a horrific accident, the three passengers suddenly found themselves plunging off the side of the road. The path they were on was treacherous and bumpy. Samantha Orr, Bentley’s owner, and her mother, Jennifer, were in the front seat of the vehicle during the off-road adventure.

The sorrowful daughter refused to give up hope that he was alive somewhere, deep in the mountains.

Lonely, traumatized, and in bad shape
