Sufferpup

     Two explorers Cedar Wright and his expedition partner, Alex Honnold gave themselves just three weeks to finish biking 800 miles and to climb 45 towers in the American Southwest. They go so far off the normal path and have to make unexpected pit-stops. But, during one pit-stop what Cedar found was totally unexpected. In an interview, Cedar said “I have to pee so I just stop on my bike randomly in the desert and all of a sudden I hear this whimpering sound and at first I can’t figure out what it is and then I look and there’s this little puppy curled up in an old tire hiding from the wind. I quickly realized that he had been abandoned.”
     Cedar and Alex decided to name him Sufferpup. They didn't have any dog food with them but, they decided to give him string cheese and some water. Sufferpup ate the entire string cheese and drank all of the water. Sufferpup ended up releasing the digested string cheese onto their sleeping bags later that night. So they made him his own little kennel out of an empty beer box and some rags. "It’s really heartening at the end of the day to come down and have this adorable little puppy to cuddle with. Without Sufferpup I don’t know if we would have made it.” Cedar said. It looks like Cedar and Sufferpup needed each other. Sufferpup went from scared and shivering to a energetic, happy little puppy.
     I thought this was just a really cute story to share, it put a smile on my face and hopefully it put one on yours as well.
