The Caleb Memorial (Snowmass)

Caleb was a Snowmass Ski Patrol dog who started working in 2004, and his memorial is on Snowmass, near the BZ Hut.  When Brandon Zukoff died in an avalanche on February 22, 2011, it was Caleb who found his body.  See https://www.aspendailynews.com/a-skier-s-best-friend/article_e9976055-7721-5a3e-9ed7-3474acc40ec6.html  Caleb's owner/handler was Susan "Mouse" Carollo.  For a video that shows Caleb, see this:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdUPvCddMd0   The author's photo of this memorial was the subject of the Snowmass Sun "Last Shot" in the January 30, 2019 paper; see last photo below.
