LOS ANGELES — Saul is a very good boy.
So good, in fact, that’s he’s being hailed as a hero for leading search and rescue crews on a 200-yard trek after his owner was injured when he fell 70 feet while hiking near Tahoe National Forest.
In “true Lassie fashion,” Saul, a border collie, ran through the forest and got the attention of two searchers last week, according to Nevada County sheriff’s officials. Saul eventually led them to his owner, who was covered in a camouflage tarp and had suffered broken ribs and a broken hip.
