As the people closest to Tom McTevia spent the last week grieving his loss, they also worried what had become of his dog, Daisy. The little dachshund was with McTevia and his friend, Tina Hoisington, a week ago, when the ATV they were riding rolled off a steep cliff in the mountains overlooking Lake Pend Oreille, killing them both. No one had seen the dog since. "We knew she was out there; we just didn't know if she was dead or alive," said McTevia's sister, Laura Bess. On Saturday, six days after the crash, five men - McTevia's friends and family members - used ropes to scour the rugged terrain below the cliff the ATV had plummeted from. Others waited at the top, communicating with the searchers below by two-way radio/Maureen Dolan, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
