This is a story about a woman named Kari Yarbrough, who was on her way home back to Colorado Springs along with her dogs. However, Kari had unfortunately gotten into a car accident in the middle of the road.
Plus, Kari already had an open warrant on her, thus she was swiftly taken into police custody and was en route to Chaffee County jail instead.
Meanwhile, all of Kari’s dogs had been placed in a yard by the local authorities.

During her untimely arrest, one of her dogs, Prince, had escaped the guarded yard. As soon as Kari was released and free once again, she was devastated to learn that Prince had gone missing.
In desperation, she proceeded to seek help from all avenues in hopes of getting Prince back to her side.
One Buena Vista animal advocate named Monika Courtney saw Kari’s SOS social media post and decided to lend a helping hand to her.
She gave Kari a tent along with some camping supplies, which greatly helped her to track Prince down throughout the cold winter days.
