Willow’s situation was looking bleak when Graham Whatmough stumbled upon her in the woods.

Graham is used to going on hikes and exploring new areas. While foraging off-path one day, he came upon the dog who’d seemingly been dumped – Willow.

She was suffering from two broken legs and she likely wouldn’t have survived for long without help. Thankfully, Graham was able to get her the help that she needed.

Since then, the two have been inseparable. Willow recovered from her leg injuries and went on to become quite the adventurer, accompanying Graham on all sorts of hikes and travels near their home in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada.

But more than that, she’s proven she’s got quite a talent picking up on scents and finding missing animals. In fact, she’s already helped find multiple lost pets when no one else could!

Graham shared with ViralHog that in February of this year, Willow helped him track down a Weimaraner dog named Luna who’d been lost for 12 hours in -20C. He said it only took around 15 minutes of searching for Willow to find the dog, while other people had been tirelessly searching.

Later, Graham learned a chihuahua had been missing for a few days around the same area they’d found Luna. He shared on Facebook that he decided to take Willow to investigate, and in less than five minutes, she found the little dog named Taco.

Graham wrote, “I couldn’t really believe it and still can’t really, it was less than 5 minutes I think. There was Taco standing in the snow looking back at us.”

Sometimes the most incredible animals are dealt the worst hand in life, but when given a little love and care, they go on to do incredible things.
