Help arrived on two wheels for Columbo the dog.
“We stopped to regroup and he came out of the woods to greet us. He was really thin, ribs showing and had a lot of road rash and a broken leg,” Little told CBS News.

Little carefully placed the pooch on his back and biked him into town.

Little gave Columbo to Shaw so the dog could start the next leg of his journey.
Shaw paid to have Columbo’s leg fixed and his injuries treated, and she found the organizationCanine Freedom Transportationto safely transport the dog back to Maine, even with 25 staples in his leg.
Now that the former stray’s story has started to spread, he has gained a lot of fans. Shaw started a Facebook page,Adventures of Columbo, for her new dog, sharing updates and stories of other animals in need with Columbo’s growing audience — which includes Little.
