A Kalispell couple

A Kalispell couple tried in vain to save a dog after the Pomeranian had been hit by a car on U.S. 2 near Checker Auto, and was lying in traffic. Jessica Blankenship said she and Jeff Baker believed the dog was dead and were startled to find it breathing after they scooped it up. Hoping to save its life, they called the veterinarian named on the dog's collar tag. The paging service for the clinic wouldn't call a doctor because the couple didn't own the dog. So they took it to their own veterinarian, who tried in vain to save the animal. They agreed to pay for the medical care, even though the dog didn't survive. Animal warden Mike Hall said "no one else would stop" for the injured dog. "They are very humane people."
